Queen Latifah singing gospel? Oh my!
The Queen is lending her voice to "Oh Happy Day: An All-Star Music Celebration,'' along with a host of artists not known for singing gospel music or espousing their faith.
The other artists include Jon Bon Jovi, Joss Stone and 3 Doors Down.
Wal-Mart is the exclusive outlet for the The EMI Gospel/Vector Recordings collection, which will be released tomorrow.
"It's something that we'd never really done before, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun," 3 Doors Down lead vocalist Brad Arnold told Reuters. The band sings "Presence of the Lord" on the CD.
"It seemed like it would also be a challenge because we'd never really recorded that style of song," he said.
