  1. Donnie McClurkin New York Restoration Choir

  2. A Little About A Man Donnie McClurkin … And How He Found God McClurkin was born and raised in Louisville, Mississippi. When he was eight years old, his two-year-old brother was hit and killed by a speeding driver and the night of the funeral, McClurkin's uncle raped him. Domestic violence and drug abuse took hold in the family. At the age of thirteen, McClurkin was again raped, this time by his cousin, his uncle's son. McClurkin found comfort through an aunt who sang background vocals with gospel music musician Andraé Crouch.

  3. After staying close to Christ throughout his boyhood, he began to play piano and sing with his church youth choir. He formed the McClurkin Singers by the time he was a teenager, and later formed another group, the New York Restoration Choir. ~ I really tried to find names of this Choir but I couldn’t .. I did the best I could but~

  4. He was hired as an associate minister at Marvin Winans' Perfecting Faith Church in 1989.[1] The Winans are a well-established family of singers who have dominated the modern gospel genre and also crossed over into soul and pop. McClurkin served as an assistant to Winans for over a decade.

  5. In 1991, a sharp pain and swelling, followed by internal bleeding, led, he says, to a diagnosis of leukemia. The doctor suggested immediate treatment, but McClurkin, who was then 31, decided take his own advice.

  6. He was ordained and sent out by Winans in 2001 to establish Perfecting Faith Church in Freeport, Long Island, where he is now Senior Pastor.

  7. McClurkin's listing as a headlining performer for Senator Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential campaignstirred controversy because of his views on homosexuality.

  8. A friendship with a Warner Alliance executive resulted in his signing to the label for his 1996 self-titled LP, with producers Mark Kibble of Take 6, Cedric and Victor Caldwell plus Andraé Crouch.

  9. McClurkin is best known for his hit songs “Stand” and “We Fall Down” which were played in heavy rotation on both Gospel and Urban radio.
