The MIGHTY CLOUDS OF JOY has consistently pushed the boundaries of Gospel music. While progressive in sound, the group has remained constant in its message, letting its core beliefs shine through to Gospel, Pop, and R&B audiences on recordings and in performances, from an intimate church setting to the White House, to concert venues throughout the country
The Mighty Clouds of Joy has been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards and has won three. In 1999, the group was inducted into the Gospel Hall of Fame in Detroit and, later that year, it was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. From playing shows with Aretha Franklin and her father, Reverend C.L. Franklin; to performing a full month at New York City’s Madison Square Garden with Paul Simon; to being asked to perform with the Rolling Stones, the Mighty Clouds of Joy has transcended Gospel music, proving that the message is meaningful in all musical arenas.
The Mighty Clouds of Joy crossed over into the Pop charts with its single Mighty High, which topped the Disco charts and also landed on the R&B charts. The Mighty Clouds of Joy became the first Gospel group to perform on Soul Train and holds the distinction as the most visible of any Gospel act in history. The group has performed on the Grammy Awards, the Stellar Awards, Prime Time Country, The Mike Douglas Show, The Merv Griffin Show, and The Arsenio Hall Show.
