Andrae Crouch was a gospel singer, songwriter, arranger, record producer and pastor.
In the 1980’s and 1990s, he was known as the “go to” producer for superstars who sought a gospel choir sound in their recordings, appearing on a number of recordings including Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror”, Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”, and “The Power”, a duet between Elton John and Little Richard. He even collaborated on some of his recordings with artists, such as Stevie Wonder, El Debarge, and Sheila E just to name a few.

The most popular songs by Andrea Crouch with his group The Disciples are “The Blood Will Never Loose it’s Power”. “Bless His Holy Name”, “Soon and Very Soon, “Jesus is the Answer”, “My Tribute”, and “Through It All”. After The Disciples in 1979, Crouch continued on with a solo career.

Let’s talk about Andrae’s song through it all and what inspired him to write it.

Andrae said, “I got message, and it was from a little guy name Albi Pearson. He said, Andrae, the Lord told me that you’re going through something.”

The message that Albi Pearson gave inspired Andrae to write his song. The more I live and the more I learn, I understand and feel the lyrics of Andrae’s song, “Through It All”. Through It All! I’ve learned to trust in Jesus. I’ve learned to trust in God.

Andrae Crouch left us, but he left us with great memories of music. I’m your host Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to a show about The Gospel Greats.
