Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir life and biography

When pastor Jim Cymbala and his wife Carol came to the Brooklyn Tabernacle in 1972, the church consisted of 15-20 people. Carol started a choir about a year later with nine people. Today, the choir has 240 voices and 6,000 people worship there every week. As a recording group, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has sold three million albums and has won several Grammy and Dove Awards. Warner Alliance's Live...We Come Rejoicing and Sony's God Is Working -- Live are among their most vibrant live recordings from the '90s.
