Cliff Dubose – My Soul Says Yes!

Cliff Dubose is recognized as one of the hardest working church musicians in Chicago, yet is most recognized for his kind, laid back, gentle soul. On "My Soul Says Yes!" his music reflects this personality and temperament. Cliff plays with fresh Sunday morning zest on I'm A Soldier and There's Something Mighty Sweet About the Lord, a relaxed and easy going feel on Amazing Grace, and love and faith on hymns like Jesus Loves Me and Praise Him! Praise Him!. On this disc, Cliff plays both piano and organ. Cliff is accompanied by the virtuoso Richard Gibbs on bass throughout and on organ on I'm A Soldier. Drummer Kenard Pulliam forges a solid rhythmic base. They accompany lead vocalists Pastor DeAndre Patterson, Fred Dubose, Jocelyn Buchanan, and Renee Webster.

We finish this trilogy devoted to gospel piano and organ players with Cliff Dubose, the eldest of six brothers and son of gospel singer Omega Dubose who taught her sons her love for gospel. For many years Cliff has been organist and choir director at God’s House for All Nations Church on Chicago’s 43rd Street. Since he was fifteen years old Dubose has devoted himself to play both the organ and piano in different Windy City churches, which has allowed him to back excellent vocalists like Albertina Walker, Fontella Bass, Arthur Scales, Pastor Maceo Woods or Pastor Janice Martin among many other amazing gospel voices, in addition of doing several tours in Europe.
In 2002 Cliff founded a gospel group called “Divine” and recorded his first album with Jocelyn Buchanan, Renee Webster and Pastor Fred Dubose. Some of the group members also participate in this album for the joy, delight and happiness of all followers of this so spiritual musical genre, because the feeling and climax that arises between them is really impressive.
Today Cliff Dubose is one of the most demanded and prolific musicians of Chicago churches and enjoys an undeniable popularity. The eleven album cuts will awake in every listener the deepest religious feeling we all carry inside, thanks to the sensitivity and devotion Cliff Dubose gives to each song, something that comes from the depths of his soul.
