and The
Choir
BACK
AGAIN
It's Here! The long
awaited CD from one of Gospel music's best-loved choirs - Dr. Charles G. Hayes

years of contributing a rich legacy to the history of Gospel music, BACK
AGAIN marks the first release on Dr. Hayes' own label Cosmo Sounds. “I am
excited about our new release. After more than 30 records, you would think this
would be an easy task, but we treated this recording like it was our first,”
states Dr. Hayes. “We’re back again and being used as God’s vessel. We pray
that listeners will experience the presence of
God.”

Out”.
