Description: Here's a great Gift Idea! Ben Tankard Keynote Speaker (In the Original Blister Pack!) (Tribute 7-90113-133-0, 1990, UPC# 092193133023) (Category: Contemporary Gospel Music CD) ¤NEW!¤ This hard-to-find Compact Disc is new, factory sealed, and guaranteed against manufacturer's defects! ¤NEW!¤ He's been called "the Quincy Jones of Gospel," and besides being one of the best-selling instrumentalists in Christian music, keyboard player Ben Tankard has justified his tag, producing many stellar gospel projects as well as serving as an executive vice-president at Tribute Records, for which he has recorded extensively. Born in Florida to a minister father and a missionary mother, he began playing drums in church at the age of three. He later graduated to tuba and was offered several music scholarships to college, though he eventually accepted a basketball scholarship instead. Tankard endured a rough period of depression and homelessness when a knee injury prevented him from turning professional (though he was drafted by the NBA). A visit to a revival service put him on the right track, an almost overnight, he became a very talented keyboard/organ player. Tankard began his witness in song with 1990's Keynote Speaker, recorded for Tribute Records. He continued recording and soon moved into production and arranging as well, calling on his reserves of early musical training to provide impeccable jobs for Yolanda Adams, the Alabama State Mass Choir and Michael Bruce. His albums were often light jazz works, offering soothing, reflective gospel instrumentals that were similar to mainstream efforts from George Benson and Kenny G. By 2002, he had released enough albums to put together a "best of" collection, highlighted by a cover of Stevie Wonder's "You Will Know" featuring Take 6. (Biography by John Bush, AMG) NOTE: When CD's were first introduced, some manufacturers packaged them in the now-standard plastic jewel cases, but then put that CD and jewel case in a large, sealed plastic "blister pack." (Approximately 6" X 12") This was so the retailer could display the CD's, which seemed so little at the time, in the same display racks as the vinyl LP Records or, if desired, they could be hung from a pegboard display. Plus, the blister pack added a little security as it was harder to steal a large object than a small one and in addition, they are tamper-proof. As the LP Records disappeared from stores, so did the CD blister packs. This new, hard to find CD is still sealed in the original plastic blister pack!Songs include: Keynote Speaker Be With You Revival Time!
