Vanessa Bell Armstrong releases "Icon" on July 8. "Icon" contains11 of this Gospel artist most recognizable songs, including "Good News," "You Bring Out The Best In Me," and "Trouble In My Way."
Vanessa Bell Armstrong has been recording music for over 3 decades. A four-time GRAMMY® Award nominee, Stellar Award winner, and #1 selling Billboard artist, Vanessa Bell Armstrong is a gospel legend. Armstrong made her solo debut on Onyx/Muscle Shoals Sound Records in 1983 with the album "Peace Be Still." The title track has since became one of Armstrong's signature songs. Armstrong's second album "Chosen" hit number one on the US Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart. Later, Armstrong enjoyed a slice of mainstream success in the late 1980s. Her self-titled 1987 Jive Records debut yielded the Billboard-charting hit "You Bring Out The Best In Me," as well as the club favorite "Pressing On."
The next year's follow-up album Wonderful One featured a cover of the Labi Siffre anti-Apartheid anthem "Something Inside So Strong." The song was later remade in 1995 by Armstrong along with Shirley Caesar, Fred Hammond, Tramaine Hawkins, Yolanda Adams, and a host of other gospel artists as a tribute to Rosa Parks. The song was serviced to radio stations to play on the 40th anniversary of the civil rights icon's arrest. Armstrong's 2007 album, Walking Miracle, is her first release in 6 years, and blends traditional gospel fare like "So Good To Me" (produced by Smokie Norful) with contemporary songs like "Til The Victory's Won" (produced by Fred Jerkins III) and the title track (produced by Rodney Jerkins).
