'I Surrender' Surprising 1st take fiery vocal by Rev. Mary Jo Young. Here's a cool story: in 2001, I was recording a Gospel album. The Reverend Mary Joe Young came to record lead vocals
for this song having listened to a guide vocal only 1x the night before. She was this almost frail, quiet, meek and reserved woman. We thought we were going to have a rough time getting her to open up. She spoke oh sooo softly. 'Dhar' the 'Musical Director' set her up and we got ready to teach her the song and asked her to 'run thru what she knew of it' as a warm-up and for recording levels. This was the result. We were floored!! We never did a 2nd take! We used the warm-up scratch
vocal as the final!
