"Richard Smallwood and Vision have done it again! He blessed me and all who have heard this wonderful piece of musical ministry. I listened to this whole CD about two weeks ago on my way to Orlando, FL to do two concerts with my church choir. I was ready to face any obstacle that Satan thought he could put in my way. Because I have met Mr. Smallwood once on his birthday while volunteering with the Naitonal Black College Gospel Workshop about 9 years ago, I am not only impressed, inspired and blessed with his music, but the man himself. There are several artists and groups whose work I buy and listen to, i.e., Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, etc. However, when I listen to Richard Smallwood's work, I am always anticipating what God will give Him next. I thank God for having been exposed to this wonderfully talented and blessed artist. He is a class musical genius whose work has effect and longevity. Even his old music still does it for me! This kind of anointing is rare. There are only a few other artists that I would put into this category for me,i.e., both Hawkins brothers. I continue to enjoy his work and always look forward to hearing what's to come. May he always be an instrument of God."

Awesome, Simply Awesome

"Richard Smallwood has done it again, this CD in a word is Awesome. The orchestra beautifully compliments the words to the music oh so well. The string instruments, piano, harps, etc. makes this such a unique gospel selection. The music and words are so powerful that it ushers you in the presence of God. My favorite is selection number 2 (Musical Compilation of some of his greatest hits, Total Praise, Center of My Joy) and selection number 9 "Holy Holy Thou Art Holy". Awesome Just Awesome"

Richard Strikes Again!

"Well, once again, he sat behind the Ebony and Ivory, and gave Gospel a flavor that it has never had in the History of its existence: HEALING. The World-Class Gospel Pianist, Richard Smallwood has far superceded the success of "Adoration" and put such extensive talent, time, and energy into "Healing." Each song is ministerial, and each lyric exactly reflects what Gospel is: Good News. I don't think that there will ever be another artist that can revolutionize Gospel Music like Mr. Smallwood has, giving it a fusion of Classical and Gospel genres, to come up with this great project that invokes the very presence of the Living God into whereever you are listening to this GREAT CD. Richard Smallwood strikes again, and just when you thought that he could not get any better, he quieted all our musical fears, and made another CD that Gospel Music and its fans will NEVER, EVER forget. Kirk Franklin never ever knew talent like this and will never be able to demonstrate such immense talent. And while he does music for money, Richard orchestrates and performs for ministry and the expansion of the Kingdom of God. If he is not nominated for a Grammy Award for this Multi-Dimensionally talented project, there is absolutely no justice in the Music Industry. God Bless and Be with you, Richard Smallwood, and Vision. Blessed Be The Lord, because after all, Richard Smallwood never takes the credit, to always remind us and the Lord, that he gives "Total Praise" to him."
