Williams Sings Traditional Gospel with a Contemporary Flavor

Cora Jackson-Fossett, Religion EditorMay 24, 2017

Markees Williams is a big fan of old school, down-home gospel songs. Although he’s only 30-years-old, he describes himself as having a “traditional core, with some contemporary flavor.” Combining both qualities in his music has resulted in Williams attracting a broad audience from young adults to seniors that flock to his appearances. In fact, his album release concert last month at New Hope Baptist Church in Los Angeles drew hundreds of people of all ages.

KJLH Proven Achievers

Special to the SentinelMarch 9, 2016

At heritage urban station 102.3 RadioFree KJLH in Los Angeles, we commemorated Black History Month with the KJLH Proven Achievers Honor. During the month of Feburary, we honored individuals from various stations in the community. We believe that many acts of kindness go unrecognized. It’s perceived that these acts are an extension of one’s job. And while we appreciate a professional individual doing their job well, we must look behind the job to the individual and you’ll find character, integrity and passion in their actions.

Maleena Lawrence, Contributing WriterDecember 9, 2015

The radio station has been independently owned and operated since 1965.
