Written in 1978 by the so called "father of modern gospel", Andrae Crouch, "Soon And Very Soon" is reminiscent of a modern-day spiritual, with simple text, a word-substitution format, and an inner refrain (“we are going to see the King”), making it easy to sing from memory. Crouch worked as a producer and arranger for Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John and even Rick Astley, sprinkling his trademark gospel magic over some huge hit records. The song is proving popular with Wantage in Harmony, as the choir get to grips with its steady soulful rhythm and harmonies. Mark and Jack will be working with the men, creating an emphatic bass line that underpins the whole. The song promises to be a fantastic performance piece!
