About Madison Avenue Records
Our History
In 1998, a historic musical offering was released under the Madison Avenue Records (MAR) Record label. The project was a live recording and entitled, “Open Praise”. Bobby Jones, Virtue, Mark and Joey Kibble (Take 6) and Duawne Starling were some of the incredibly talented and God-fearing artists who made that evening a memorable event. The “Open Praise” project was recorded by an energetic group of motivated young people, who possessed an innate desire to minster, and who possessed a preponderance of musical talent. Geographically, the Madison Mission SDA Church, the Executive producer of the album and the auspices under which Madison Avenue Records operates, is in proximity to the world renowned Oakwood University. This institution of higher learning is famous for birthing and/or nurturing brilliant musicians such as Little Richard, Mervyn Warren, Take 6 (previously Alliance), Chris Willis, Brian McKnight, Wintley Phipps, Virtue and several others. Accordingly, “Open Praise” was an organic culmination of years of percolating talent and resolve. In February of 2016, the choir had a twenty-one-year reunion. It was breathtaking to observe those original and current choir members, despite being a little older, still possessing a desire to sing for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
After the “Open Praise” success in 1998, some moved on, got married, had children. Some stayed in the Madison, AL area and continue to minister at Madison Mission to this day. What hasn’t changed is the depth of musical talent emanating from the church. Despite the best efforts of the adversary to silence the witness of this prototypical body of believers and record label, Madison Avenue Records continues to release timeless musical offerings. The title of the Label’s latest project provides some insight into the spiritual maturity that the Madison Mission parishioners have attained. Those who have remained true to the calling to deliver the gospel of Jesus Christ are now emboldened. Their response to trials and tribulation can be summed up in one word: “Yield”.
