T.H.E. CHOIR ~~
This wonderful group of generous spirits were assembled two and a half years ago as the City of Angels Choir at the City of Angels Church in Culver City, CA. Inspired by the late Reverend O.C. Smith and Rev. Robbie Smith, the Choir consists of beautiful souls who want to make a difference in peoples lives and help to heal and inspire wherever they perform. Under the direction of world renown singer, songwriter Brenda Lee Eager who took over the Choir in 2006, this small choir makes miracles wherever they go. The songs are infectious and universal. They perform new material written by Miss Eager and do wonderful renditions of classics that still stir the passion of the Christ in the hearts of all who hears them. Look for their new CD soon to be released. Their joy is to bring joy. Now that the City of Angels Church is no longer, the Choir still carries on the dream of Rev. O.C. and Robbie Smith, as Brenda Lee Eager and T.H.E. Choir “The Heaven on Earth Choir,” who will inspire you and love you with their music.
The Heaven On Earth Choir
Lengendary Recording Artists Jerry Butler & Brenda Lee with Brenda's daughter Michelle
AN INSPIRING ,HUMOROUS UPLIFTING JOURNEY THROUGH THE LIFE OF ACCLAIMED SINGER/SONGWRITER THAT TAKES US FROM THE COTTON FIELDS OF ALABAMA, UP THROUGH HER PARTICIPATION IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, HER SINGING AND SONGWRITING CAREER WITH THE LIKES OF JERRY BUTLER, PRINCE, RAY CHARLES AND MANY MORE. IT IS A TRULY A JOURNEY FROM BEHIND THE STARTING LINE INTO "GRACE", AND THE DETERMINATION TO "LIVE HER DREAM".
This incredible songstress and accomplished songwriter captivates audiences with a soulful delivery uniquely her own. Listen to Brenda and you'll hear songs magically brought to life with a combination of down-home flavor and a slick uptown touch reflecting the influence of her upbringing in Alabama and Chicago.
Eager, pronounced (ager), found her voice at the tender age of three when she began singing in church in her hometown of Lower Peachtree, Alabama. Since beginning her career, Brenda Lee is one of the few who has always made a living doing what she loves... and doing it well.
Brenda, who has worked with great artists such as Diana Ross, Roberta Flack, Smokey Robinson, Teena Marie, Donny Hathaway, Graham Nash, Ray Charles, Mavis Staples, Stevie Wonder, among many others, takes us back to a time when soul-filled singing, whether silky-smooth or raw and passionate, was the order of the day.
Brenda, who started writing songs when she was in the third grade quotes "I started out writing poems. Short poems. But by the time I was in the fifth grade I was putting melodies to the words. By the time I was in the ninth grade I was writing stuff to sing for people. And by the tenth grade I had my own group, singing my songs in assemblies and hallways and anywhere people wanted to hear them."
This seasoned vocalist has received accolades from some of the greatest entertainers in the business. "Ooh, the way Brenda Lee Eager sings, OOH Baby", smiles the legendary Smokey Robinson.
Fellow singer songwriter Teena Marie credits Brenda Lee Eager as an influence in developing her own style; "The first time I heard Brenda Lee Eager I was sixteen years old and I was blown away by her range and yet sweet tone. I studied her records like I was in school. Brenda Lee was truly one of my teachers."
Long time friend Mavis Staples affectionately says that Brenda Lee is a "Bad Montana", and the great singer Rev. O. C. Smith compliments "Brenda's voice is simply the most angelic voice I have ever heard".
As a songwriter Brenda has written songs for Bobby Womack, Mavis Staples and the Staples Singers, Pop Staples, Cliff Richard, The Manhattans, Gladys Night, Peaches and Herb, and recently a Platinum single with the artist formally known as Prince.
Shirley Brown of "Woman to Woman" fame has recorded three of Brenda's tunes. Aretha Franklin and so many others continue to request her material.
Brenda's first taste of Musical Theater was with Della Reese, who cast Brenda as one of the lead roles in her musical "The Message is in the Music". Recently, Brenda returned from Europe where she co-starred with the legendary Blues singer Maine Weldon in the hit musical "Wild Woman Blues".
In addition, Brenda Lee has taught songwriting for the Quincy Jones Workshop in Los Angeles, and today is a consultant for many aspiring songwriters.
One would say that Brenda's latest project is one of her greatest undertakings and her greatest accomplishments to date. A full length musical based on her life, written by Brenda, "This Is My Story, This Is My Song" opened in Los Angeles to a packed house every night. Through her songs, tears and laughter, the audience is given a glimpse into the many talents of Brenda Lee Eager and what it has taken for her to succeed. The level of talent in this show, including the book and lyrics are phenomenally touching, and the story reaches down deep to a part that all of us can relate to following our dreams.
This vibrant, passionate, humorous, loving singer-songwriter will melt the hearts of all who come into her presence.

This is the cause of my life. It is a key reason that I defied my illness last summer to speak at the Democratic convention in Denver—to support Barack Obama, but also to make sure, as I said, "that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American...will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not just a privilege." For four decades I have carried this cause—from the floor of the United States Senate to every part of this country. It has never been merely a question of policy; it goes to the heart of my belief in a just society. Now the issue has more meaning for me—and more urgency—than ever before. But it's always been deeply personal, because the importance of health care has been a recurrent lesson throughout most of my 77 years.
You have blessed me more than I can ever show. It’s in the little things, the lesser things, those things that go unknown. And maybe just a touch, barely crossed your mind, but my dear friend, I want you to know it was the perfect touch on time. So it is today I’ve been given one more chance, an opportunity, to remind with just a word how precious you are. There is no one like you. You could never be replaced. Now go and conquer your world with the beauty of your grace. Hide these words of mine in your heart, so wherever you are I’ll be. Dance now with the butterflies and live out your dreams.
