Yolanda Yvette Adams (born August 27, 1961) is an American gospel singer, record producer, actress, and radio host on WBLS. As of September 2009, she had sold 4.5 million albums since 1991 in the United States, and nearly 8 million albums worldwide according to SoundScan.
On December 11, 2009, Billboard Magazine named her the No. 1 Gospel Artist of the last decade. In the same chart, her album Mountain High...Valley Low was acknowledged as the best gospel album.
The oldest of six siblings, Adams was born in Houston, Texas. She graduated from Sterling High School in Houston in 1979. After graduating from Texas Southern University, she began a career as a schoolteacher and part-time model in Houston. Eventually she gave up teaching to perform full-time as a lead singer.
Adams first attracted the attention of Thomas Whitfield and Sound of Gospel Records as a lead singer with Houston's Southeast Inspirational Choir affiliated with the Church of God in Christ, under the direction of Carl Preacher, Brenda Waters, and Shirley Joiner. The choir released the single in 1982 "For My Liberty" with Adams as the featured vocalist. In 1986, Adams was featured on the Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar Choir released Give Us Peace, with a performance entitled "My Trust Lies In You". Later, she signed a recording contract with Sound of Gospel which yielded her first album Just As I Am in 1987. In 1990, she was discovered by producer/keyboardist Ben Tankard, and signed to his independent label Tribute Records and released Through The Storm. Tankard's goal with Tribute Records during this time was to develop an audience for a smoother gospel/jazz sound. He featured Yolanda's jazzy vocals on his album and concept video single "You Bring Out The Best In Me" on his 1994 release Play Me In Your Key. The collaboration received positive response from gospel, jazz and "quiet storm" formats.
From the album "Mountain High... Valley Low" in 1999.
Yolanda Adams is a Grammy award winning singer who has merged contemporary R&B; with gospel music. Though her musical style has sometimes raised eyebrows amongst the more conservative of the Christian church, her crossover appeal has helped the music to spread into the secular world. She was originally a teacher and part-time model but eventually gave up teaching to concentrate on her music career. Her debut album was 1988's Just As I Am which reached the top of the US Gospel charts. As time progressed and her albums were released, she developed her delivery to incorporate a modern urban style while remaining true to her spiritual roots. She soon found approval from both sides of the religious debate. DISCLAIMER: NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED. I OWN ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THESE VIDEOS (UN...

Is your fragile heart broken. yolanda adams lyrics. Acapella Hearts get fragile; sometimes broken; we wonder if they will ever be whole again. But before you think suicide, you are not alone. You won't be the first and much as I wish your would be the last, I am not sure. Brokenness happens to the best of humans; . Come on over to the Potter's House- He puts back together broken dreams and broken thoughts. He holds fragile hearts together; and funnily the same hands hold the world's pieces together.

[Lyrics Kenny G - I Believe I Can Fly Ft Yolanda Adams] I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful song But now I know the meaning of true love I'm leaning on the ever lasting arms If I can see it Then I can do it If I just believe it There's nothing to it [Chorus] I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day spread my wings and fly away I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly See I was on the verge of breaking down Sometimes the silence could seem so loud There are miracles in life I must achieve But first it's got to start inside of me If I can see it Then I can do it If I just believe it There's nothing to it [Chorus] Cuz I belie...
Quietly He speaks to me.
Gently He leads me.
Lovingly the Shepherd carries me.
He carries me hidden safely in His bosom
I feel His love inside when other times, my friend, I couldn't.
He knows just what's best for me;
The Good Shepherd knows, He knows
Just what I need.
Quietly He speaks.
Gently the Master leads.
So lovingly He carries me to
A safe place of rest.
And I feel the Master's unconditional love,
Everlasting love,
Ever so deeply inside of me.
I'm so glad Jesus knows
Just what's best for me.
The Good Shepherd knows --
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for Jesus is with me.
He leads me, He guides me, He hides me
In the shelter of His arms;
He holds me there.
The Good Shepherd knows
