Donnie McClurkin is a gospel vocalist with the psyche of Andraé Crouch and the contemporary flair of Kirk Franklin. Born into a menage filled with domestic violence and do drugs mistreat, McClurkin was protected by an aunty wHO sang background vocals with Crouch himself. After staying close to Crouch passim his boyhood, he began to play piano and sing with his church youth choir. He formed the McClurkin Singers by the time he was a stripling, and later formed some other group, the New York Restoration Choir.
Chartered as an associate diplomatic minister at Marvin Winans' Perfecting Church in 1989, with his vocals during a seminar, McClurkin endured a binge with leukaemia that year. A friendship with a Warner Alliance executive resulted in his signing to the label for his 1996 self-titled LP, with producers Mark Kibble (of Take 6), Cedric and Victor Maxwell plus Andraé Crouch.
