I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... when I listen to his songs I feel moved by the spirit.They are fulfilling to my spirit. When I am down I just start listening to the cd HERO then I know that I am not alone. I just imagine myself being free and trusting in my GOD totally!!!!!. Kirk Franklin is great person, he knows how to connect with his audience and is not afraid to say what is on his heart.
