| The words “parched”, “dehydrated” and “dry” conjure up thoughts of a desert, a place lacking water. But “thirsty” means something entirely different to Marvin Sapp. It’s a word that reflects a renewed desire for the living water from the lover of his soul, Jesus Christ. In 2007, his fourth solo release Thirsty became a Gold Certified success, spurred on by the history-making lead single “Never Would Have Made It”. “Never Would Have Made It” was named the longest running # 1 single at radio across all genres, spending more than 40 weeks in the top spot. It was also voted as the Top Song of 2008 across any genre by The Associated Press, and sold more than 1 million ringtones! Marvin's second single from Thirsty, “Praise Him In Advance” was in the top 10 for 41 weeks, making it all the way to # 2.
An original member of Commissioned, Sapp is one of the Gospel music’s most recognizable voices to date.
Now the pastor of Lighthouse Full Life Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Sapp has been blessed with a career that
spans over 20 years. |
