Wednesday 1st December 1993

AMERICAN trade magazine Billboard reported recently that CGI Records is shaping up to be "the No 1 label in gospel". Earlier this year the label purchased Lexicon/Light as well as A&M's fledgling gospel division (acquiring the US distribution of Benson Records in the process) and in May finalised a distribution deal in the States with secular giant PolyGram. CGI chairman Steve Devick told Billboard, "We intend to have more charted albums in gospel this year." In a short space of time CGI have built up a catalogue of 100 albums and is currently charting on America's black gospel chart with Hezekiah Walker, Douglas Miller, Witness and the Christianaires.
