Influences:
| Music is the Ministry of Maurice:
the group was formed in August of 2002 in the basement of Lilydale Missionary Baptist Church, in Chicago. The group was formed out of the hopes and prayers of it’s leader Maurice Jackson. Maurice was anointed by God in 1974 in Detroit, Michigan while performing with one of the nation’s top vocal groups “THE INDEPENDENTS” (most of The Independents music was characterized by a combination of Soul and Gospel sounds, produced by the late Rev. Marvin Yancey) when he experienced a spiritual revelation that altered his POP singing career. He returned to Chicago where he began to work in the ministry beside his father, the late Rev. Dr. Lawrence R. Jackson.
Rev. Felicia Jackson, born in Greenville SC. raised by mother Evelyn Hurst and Chris Hurst in Chicago, IL is the daughter of another legendary performer (singer,songwriter, producer) Chuck Jackson, formerly of “THE INDEPENDENTS”. Felicia was called to the teaching ministry in April 1992, and the ultimate call to preach the Gospel came on September 4, 1992. God has incorporated music in every aspect of her life. Felicia has recorded with Southern University A&M Interdenominational Gospel Choir in Louisiana; Tyrone Dickerson & Christian Fellowship Choir of Nashville, TN, Union Evangelistic Church Choir of Chicago Heights, IL; Felicia has recorded as a background vocalist for many artists; as well as recorded on "You Can Sing Gospel Trax" as a lead vocalist in Nashville, TN. Felicia is committed to ministry, prayer, and praise. Felicia has a love for Praise & Worship; and the Anointed Word of God! Felicia is an active participant as Associate Minister of Centennial B.C. of Chicago. Felicia has one beautiful daughter, Jocelyn whom she adores very much.
Loysanne Jackson-Mahone has a great love for Gospel music and God’s people. She is most passionate about her love of God and singing. Loysanne is the daughter of Maurice Jackson. Loysanne grew up with music all around her, and she developed a love for the beauty, sound and peace Gospel music provides. Loysanne performed on TV38, Christian Broadcast Channel, with Jerry Rose, as well as Rock of Ages with the late Isabelle Joseph Johnson. Loysanne’s singing ministry has taken her beyond the prison walls to Cook County Jail, Joliet Prison, Statesville Prison, and the Salvation Army. Loysanne is excited about her future in Christ and is determined to press to the mark of the high calling, for God and for his people.
