Kirk Franklin Tickets - Ride on the J Train

For those confused at that, know this: the J Train happens to be a metaphor for none other than Christ Jesus. Namely, a man by the name of Kirk Franklin, born January 26, 1970, came into the music scene for one purpose. To sing for God. After a long bout with growing up and learning how to love God, Kirk Franklin was truly reborn with the help of family to land an official record debut in 1993 to hail him as a Grammy-winning, Gospel-loving, God-fearing music artist above many.

Kirk Franklin Tickets - The Music of Franklin

The album to propel gospel music to heights unheard of was none other than Kirk Franklin & the Family, the first gospel album to go platinum. And his second album Kirk Franklin & the Family Christmas also happened to be the genre's first Christmas album ever to actually hit the number one spot. He amazed the music industry further, releasing a 1996 album called Watcha Lookin' 4, an album that achieved gold status immediately after its release -- and I do mean, immediately. Clear into the next millennium, Franklin kept pulling out the hits -- more and more albums, with more songs to celebrate his faith -- while working with some of the best artists in the industry. Like DC Talk, Tobymac, and even more amazingly enough, Salt from the rap duo Salt n' Pepa. Some of Franklin's best singles are, of course, 'Revolution' and 'Stomp.' Many others also follow his legacy.

One look at him, and you wouldn't believe that he was a gospel singer, or even better -- a Christian artist! There's too much funk up in that man, too much style, too much pizzazz, too much coolness that you'd need a fur coat to stand up against the cold weather. Except this is cold weather that would warm you up, baby! There wasn't any doubt that Franklin would revolutionize the Christian music industry with his slammin' words, powerful music, and ability to work with so many artists -- secular or Christian.
