With a name based on the verse of John’s gospel dealing with the Holy Trinity, the group Trin-i-tee 5:7 burst onto the scene in 1998 and spent the next half decade as one of the hottest crossover Gospel groups, with a number of excellent cuts to their credit.
Formed in New Orleans by Angel Taylor, Chanelle Hayes, and Terri Brown, the group came to the attention of GospoCentric Records as a Gospel alternative to such pop girl groups as Destiny’s Child and TLC. They signed and hit the ground running with their eponymous debut album and the wonderful ballad “God’s Grace,” written by R Kelly. The song shot to the top 10 of both the Gospel and R&B and turned the trio into hot property. Their album went gold, then a rare feat for a Gospel album.
