Voices of Victory: Wintley Phipps http://vovtz.wordpress.com/wintley-phipps/

This page has a comprehensive bio for Phipps

Chronology for Wintley Phipps[edit]

1984

"Jackson entertained and educated while SNL host". Jet. 67 (10). Chicago, Ill: Johnson Publishing: 55. November 12, 1984. ISSN 0021-5996. Retrieved 2011-11-29. {{cite journal}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help)

Jackson entertained and educated while SNL host.

When the Rev. Jesse Jackson decided to accept the invitation to host "Saturday Night Live," (SNL) he said there were some ministers who were against his ambitious leap into the field of entertainment. Jackson responded to his critics that "Sometimes we communicate from pulpits, bar tables or parks."

His behind the scene motives were to inform, educate and entertain. He accomplished all three.

First, Jackson solicited the help of Harvard psychiatry professor Alvin Poussaint, who acted as a script consultant. Poussaint also works in the same capacity on the successful "The Bill Cosby Show."

He then wanted to inject some real Black talent into what has become a lily-White show. He solicited the musical talents of gospel singers Andrae Crouch and Wintley Phipps....

1988

"Galaxy of stars performed for Democratic delegates". Jet. 74 (19). Chicago, Ill: Johnson Publishing: 60. August 8, 1988. ISSN 0021-5996. Retrieved 2011-11-29. {{cite journal}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help)

Galaxy of Stars Performed for Democratic Delegates: Although star singers Melba Moore, Dionne Warwick, Wintley Phipps and Jennifer Holliday headlined the Democratic National Convention with prime-time televised performances, a bevy of other Black entertainers were also busy throughout Atlanta keeping the more than 30,000 conventioneers and media people happy...

1990

Mr. and Mrs. Wintley Phipps and their child attend the gala celebrating Rosa Parks' 77th birthday at Kennedy Center.

Leonard, Paul (2006). Music of a thousand hammers: inside Habitat for Humanity. New York, NY: Continuum International Publishing Group. p. 65,66. ISBN 0-8264-1842-2.

On September 11, 2001, when terror came to America, I was in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Habitat volunteers were gathering for the twenty-fith anniversary of Habitat for Humanity and the celebration of the 100,000th house built by Habitat since its founding in 1976. My role that day was to chair a meeting of the U.S. Council of Habitat, which oversees Habitat's work in the United States....

... What was also uplifting to me was the music of Wintley Phipps, an African-American singer with a voice as deep as the Atlantic Ocean. Wintley, who sang and raised funds for the children of prisoners, was a Habitat supported because his sister owned a Habitat house and he had seen the change it made in her life. Wintley did not tell us until after he had sung "Heal Our Land" and "I'm Goin' to Pray for This Land" that the songs had been written by Orrin Hatch, the Republican senator from Utah. But that fact is no more astounding than "Amazing Grace" having been written by the captain of a slave ship. The politics of the songwriters didn't concern Wintley. He cared about the songs' messages and meanings, and with a deep and passionate voice he raised our spirits.

It was after I returned from Indianapolis with Wintley Phipp's CD titled Heal Our Land that I discovered the song "Too Many Saviors," written by Richard Harris and recorded by Wintley Phipps. That piece took me back to the terror of Belfast and made me think more deeply about the consequences of Homeland Security and the American anti-terror campaign. In the song, it was God's condemnation of each side in Northern Ireland that claimed to fight under his banner that caught my attention. From Harris' perspective, God has no interest in war or the politics that surround it. His first and abiding interest is peace and the well-being of all of people.

As a favorite hymn in the United States for nearly two centuries, "Amazing Grace" has sounded in concert halls, religious services, and numerous other venues. I recently heard this beautiful and redemptive song performed by Wintley Phipps, an ordained Seventh-day Adventist minister and the founder and initiator of a number of humanitarian programs aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged people. Wintley is also a world-renowned vocal artist and has performed throughout North America and abroad. If you have not heard Wintley Phipps sing "Amazing Grace," go online to YouTube and watch one of his many performances that have been posted there. He sings this familiar hymn with a passion and fervor in his rich bariton voice that I have not heard anywhere else. Of his performance in New York City's Carnegie Hall, one commentator wrote online that he delivered "perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded.... A stirring performance that [brought] the audience to its feet."

Congressional Record (House) March 22, 2001, p. 4283-4287 at the prayer breakfast.

Rep. WAMP. To sing a wonderful song
which I will speak to when it is complete, please welcome Wintley Phipps to sing ‘‘Heal Our Land.’’ Wintley? (Applause.) (Song is sung.) (Applause.) Rep. WAMP. Isn’t that a beautiful song? What if I told you that it was written and composed by United States Senator Orrin Hatch? (Applause.) (To Senator Hatch.) Stand! (Continuing applause.) He has written over 300 songs, and he gave Wintley the rights to sing that one, and I am so grateful that he did....

Rep. WAMP. Our closing song was not written by Senator Orrin Hatch, but it will be performed by Wintley Phipps. Welcome him back, please. Wintley. (Applause.) (Song, ‘‘It Is Well With My Soul’’, is performed by Wintley Phipps.) Rep. WAMP. I would ask the audience to please remain in place while President Bush and our first lady, and the Vice President and Mrs. Cheney leave the stage.
Thank you, Mr. President. (Applause.)
