<p>Wow, the <strong>Gospel Quartet Praise and Worship, Volume 1</strong> cd has just reached radio and already the response is very positive. Truly, the traditional quartet has led the way in praise and worship for generations, and this cd is a testimony to the anointing that God has placed on this music and these wonderful artists.<br />
Initially, the response to the new song from <strong>The Alabama Spirituals</strong> song, <strong>"But You Did"</strong> has been awesome. This track, along with a bunch of others, could really minister to people through the air waves. <br />
There is also a bible study / devotional inside the cd that programmers and announcers are able to use to introduce the songs and share a thought from the Bible.<br />

<h1>The Stellars Bestow Special Honors upon Lee Williams &amp; the Spiritual QCs with James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement and Quartet of The Year Awards.</h1>
<p><strong>Nashville, TN January 16, 2010</strong> - On tonight’s 25th Anniversary telecast of the prestigious Stellar Awards event, MCG Records artist Lee Williams &amp; the Spiritual QCs captured one of the highest honors that any artist can ever attain, the Allstate <strong>James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award</strong> – for an unparalleled body of artistic accomplishment. Additionally, the group took home the prized <strong>Traditional Group/Duo of The Year</strong> and <strong>Quartet of The Year</strong> honors.The Allstate-sponsored award – whose namesake, James Cleveland, is synonymous with over five decades of industry acclaim – recognizes and honors Gospel artists with superior career achievement as musical missionaries. Reflecting on the group’s accolade of the evening, Williams said, “I am deeply humbled by our being honored with these awards and give all the glory to the Lord.”&nbsp; “Also, I think it’s important for us to remind ourselves,” he continued, “The QCs are merely mouthpieces for God who understand that even though awards are wonderful, bringing the light of Christ into the lives of our audiences is our one, true mission.” Previous Lifetime Achievement honorees include Gospel luminaries Shirley Caesar, Dottie Peoples and Tramaine Hawkins, among others.Celebrated by Gospel music fans as the #1 Quartet in the World, Lee Williams &amp; The Spiritual QCs are by no means newcomers to the winning of Stellar Awards, with career wins of multiple awards. Long known for their year-round concerts before thousands of loyal fans and followers at churches and auditoriums from coast-to-coast, The QCs continue to have a lasting impact on every soul and spirit fortunate enough to hear their electrifying brand of Gospel Music. With a career collection of over 15 Album/CD/DVD releases, nearly 3,000 concert appearances and radio hits too numerous to mention, MCG Records Founder/President and legendary Gospel industry executive James Bullard summarized the QCs career-to-date by stating, “…from the every beginning, God knew he could trust the faithfulness and humbleness of these musical servants, and thus, has opened the door for them to be blessed beyond measure with honors and accolades from their fans and peers.”</p>
