National Recording Artist, Tracy Worth, dubbed “the sweet voice of Gospel Music” has stepped into a vast frontier with her own creativity and style by embracing a variety of musical influences while adding her own unique flavor. Armed with her signature angelic vocals and melodic storytelling, Tracy delivers an infused blend of Contemporary, Inspirational, and Traditional Gospel with hints of Soul, Jazz, and Pop. 

To that end, “Don’t Let Heaven Pass You By” is more than the title of her Serenity Entertainment debut.  “For far too many musicians, being successful in contemporary urban gospel music means keeping up with the Joneses, there is no need for replication when a vast frontier of gospel music creativity awaits discovery.  Fortunately, some gospel artists – mostly women – are starting to chart this frontier with their own individual musical compasses, Tracy Worth is one of these new, fresh gospel explorers. While “Don’t Let Heaven Pass You By” and “I’ll Follow You” – the latter featuring a sensational duet with gospel veteran Melvin Williams – are the standout selections, Tracy really demonstrates her vocal flexibility on “Your Love” says Bob Marovich in a review for “The Gospel Highway.” 

Tracy’s production team is a creative consortium that spans the realm of music itself.  At one end are the familiar raspy vocals of Melvin Williams on “I’ll Follow You”, on the other, producer, Ronald Walters, Jr., who was a guest music director during the 2004 American Idol season.  His resume spans from the great Barry Manilow to American Idol Contestants George Huff and Kimberly Locke, to Gospel producer, Bobby Wooten.  Richard Gibbs, son of Caravans’, Inez Andrews and Terry Yancy, brother of the late Marvin Yancy penned “You Knew Me” that hit #1 on XM Satellite Radio with over 2 million listeners.

Tracy has been blessed to share her music with a variety of audiences with appearances on TBN’s “Praise the Lord”, Hollywood Gospel Insider Award Show, Nashville’s GMA Week, the Shirley Caesar Conference, several Bobby Jones television programs,  including Gospel Explosion, the International Gospel Artist Retreat, BET’s  Bobby Jones Gospel Hour and Dr. Bobby Cartwright’s Gospel Superfest.   Her music videos are aired nationally on BET Video Gospel and the WORD Network, in addition to a host of regional programs. 

These days, Tracy is fulfilling another lifelong dream as a radio co-host on “Joy and Jubilation”, a program dedicated to the dissemination of the history of gospel music.  Along with hosts, Reggie Miles and Yvonne Wesley, Tracy can be heard on “Joy and Jubilation”, Sundays 3-5p.m., on the all new WVON 1690, “the talk of Chicago”.   Most recently, Tracy’s songwriting talent is showcased on “Say It Out Loud”, a dynamic duet between Melvin Williams and Irocc for Melvin’s new CD release “Love Like Crazy”.  She’s currently in the studios, working on her sophomore release, set to bless in the spring of 2008.
