Father's Day Songs

Every year around Father's Day, I start thinking about what a great Dad I was blessed to have and about how few songs there are that celebrate the good fathers that are around.

So, last year Gospelflava.com (www.gospelflava.com) and I created a list
of songs about fathers.

Twinkie Clark was the subject of a profile on National Public Radio on "Morning Edition," which is terrific for her and for gospel music.
