Just Andraé

Description

Just Andraé is the full-length solo debut album by the American contemporary gospel singer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer Andraé Crouch (July 1, 1942 – January 8, 2015), released on Light Records in 1972. All songs written by Crouch except “What Does Jesus Mean To You” co-written with Bili Thedford, and “In Remembrance” written by Hadley Hockensmith (who was a member of Sonlight, known as the backup band of Crouch both live and in the studio).

Andraé Crouch is remembered as one who bridged the gap between black and white Christian music and one who revolutionized the sound of urban Gospel Music.

Andraé Crouch is easily the most important gospel singer of the modern era, possibly of all time. It was Crouch who changed the sound of gospel music forever such that, a hundred years from now, all gospel recordings from the twentieth century will be classified as pre- or post-Andraé.
