GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE SAINTS UNIFIED VOICES

One Voice wins Best Gospel Choir Album of 2006

One Voice, the debut album from Gladys Knight and the Saints Unified Voices, won the Grammy for Best Gospel Choir Album at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards.

Since the January 2005 release, One Voice has remained in the top-40 on Billboard’s Gospel charts for the better part of 52 weeks. In the first week, the album soared to immediate success and snagged the title of Billboard’s #1 Hot Shot Debut and landed at #9 while it simultaneously shot to the #1 Gospel Album and #2 Inspirational Album on iTunes.

Created and directed by Knight, the Saints Unified Voices, is a matchless gospel choir consisting of more than 100 members from several cultural backgrounds whose mission is to build faith while breaking down cultural barriers. From the energetic, gospel classic “Pass Me Not,” to the moving duet, “Did You Know,” with John Fluker, One Voice offers uplifting and inspirational musical insight.

More about Gladys Knight's Saints Unified Voices

Since 2002, the choir has become a powerful platform for sharing the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and for helping members of the LDS Church appreciate and embrace the cultural diversity of the wonderful people coming into the Lord’s kingdom.

Sister Knight organized the choir in 2002 “to provide an opportunity for people who wouldn’t come otherwise to come to an LDS meeting, where they will hear a strong Christ-centered message of the restored gospel and feel the spirit that is present,” she says.

More than 100 members of the Saints Unified Voices, or the “SUV Choir” as they affectionately call themselves, form this multi-cultural choir. They come from several stakes in the greater Las Vegas area and a few commute from Utah and California. Some of Sister Knight’s professional crew also volunteer their assistance. Through their combined talents, they create and refine most of the musical arrangements during rehearsals. This presents a unique challenge for choir members since they never receive sheet music, only the words to the songs typed in paragraph form.

Through familiar hymns and spoken words, the fireside program harmonizes in worship and celebration of Jesus Christ. It is the fulfillment of Sister Knight’s desire to bring a new level of passion and cultural awareness to the traditionally reserved LDS hymns.
