Bishop Paul S. Morton- Cry Your Last Tear

With a flood of projects hitting the shelves in the mid ‘90s, the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship Mass Choir introduced a movement that symbolically brought the best of gospel music to the church experience. With Bishop Paul Morton leading the newly-formed Baptist organization, the annual assembled choir - led by A. Jeffery LaValley and Byron Cage - turned out a number of best-selling albums including A New Thing and Bow Down and Worship Him. What surprised many inside and outside the organization is how Morton pulled some of the greatest songwriters and singers like BeBe Winans, the Williams Brothers, Kirk Franklin and Ann Nesby into the recordings. Strong material with big names gave Morton a solid advantage with his core fan base and his toughest skeptics. That prominence began to shrink by 2000 as new shifts and ideas were incorporated. Since then, the church fellowship’s recordings, except for the Sanchez Harley-supported Daughters of the Promise project released in 2002, have placed more emphasis on praise-and-worship. And even with the recent saga of Morton’s beloved Greater St. Stephens suffering from the ravages of Hurricane Katrina and a church fire in 2007, Bishop Paul S. Morton still remains busy with putting out solo projects and recordings from the Full Gospel music ministries. On Cry Your Last Tear, the Bishop once again “introduces” his choir during their 2008 convention in Birmingham, Alabama and whips out a lengthy nineteen-track offering filled with ministerial moments, interludes, spoken word introductions and big doses of slow-paced worship music.
