A year after hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart with the smash hit “Rain On Us,” Earnest Pugh is on his way back to the top spot with the new tune, “I Need Your Glory.” The uplifting tune debuted at #29 on Billboard’s gospel radio chart three weeks ago, jumped to #21 last week and leaps to #12 this week. The dramatic ballad (written by gospel star James Fortune who wrote the #1 hit “I Trust You”) has bypassed new songs by platinum recording duo Mary Mary, Dorinda Clark Cole and Vashawn Mitchell.
Blacksmoke Music Worldwide CEO, Kerry Douglas and EPM Music are staging listening parties in three cities. Pugh gets the party started on June 21st @ 7 p.m. at the Chow Time Buffet & Grille Restaurant, 4207 Hacks Cross Road, Memphis, TN. He keeps the fire going June 27th @ 7 p.m. at The Atrium at Treetops, 8181 Professional Place, Hyattsville, MD. The final party takes place on June 28th @ 7 p.m. at New Mercies Church at 4000 Five Forks Trickum Rd SW, Lilburn, GA 30047.
A Memphis native (now living in the Washington, D.C. area) who was mentored by groundbreaking pioneer O’Landa Draper in the 1990s, Pugh released his first solo CD in 2006 and showed off his five-octave vocals on the radio hit “Wrapped Up, Tied Up, Tangled Up.” After years of making respectable forays into gospel, Pugh finally hit it big in 2009 with his #1 smash “Rain On Us” which led to TV appearances on BET’s “Celebration of Gospel” and TBN’s “Praise The Lord.” The new CD “Earnestly Yours” hits stores June 28th.
