During a recent conversation live inside the 27th Annual Stellar Awards press room, Gospel sensation LeJuene Thompson speaks of her musical mentors and how she found inspiration in John P. Kee, Donald Lawrence and The Clark Sisters.
Namely addressing John P. Kee and her chorale director Donald Lawrence as the men who taught her the business side of the industry, 2012 Urban Soul Cafe honoree Dorinda Clark Cole (of The Clark Sisters) is known as the guide for anyone who calls themselves a singer according to many vocalists like LeJuene Thompson., who is well known for the cover of the group’s hit “Cast Your Cares” found on Donald Lawrence’s 1995 project “Bible Stories.” To this day, LeJeune is one of the only singers brave enough to try her hand at one of The Clark Sisters’ most memorable tunes from their early days on the scene.
