IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH
THEN GOD SAID *LET THERE BE LIGHT*

Joyce Pierce offers up a message of spiritual love and worship with her debut Christian release - 24/7 Intimate Praise. And like the balanced wings of a dove, her music conveys a sense of innocence, tenderness, and peace to fans of all styles and genres.
Joyce Wright joined the multi-Grammy winning quintet, The 5th Dimension, in 1979. Already an established act, Joyce stepped into the big time with The 5th Dimension and dates all over the world including private performances for President Reagan, The US Press Corp and a slew of international delegates, as well as television performances on Solid Gold, Johnny Carson Show, and Merv Griffin. After a long run in Las Vegas with several hit shows and a Broadway production and tour of Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehavin’” under her belt, Joyce left The 5th Dimension in 1987 to pursue a solo career.
The 43 weeks per year on the road, day in and day out had taken its toll, when one evening she encountered Phil Driscoll. Pierce recollects, “I knew the point at which my back was against the wall from the grueling schedule of being in such a huge group. After a show at Trump Palace with The 5th Dimension, I was watching Phil Driscoll and realized the power and anointing in what he was doing, and how it helped other people.” That overwhelming combination of musical and inspirational power eventually led her in the same direction.
Some time later and now married, Joyce relocated to Milwaukee with her husband, pro NBA player Ricky Pierce, where she performed at the Milwaukee Symphony Pop Series and continued with her music doing ads and jingles until her husband was traded to the Seattle Supersonics. Joyce Pierce recorded and released her debut solo effort in 1992 at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles with noted producer/writer/arranger Patrick Moten (Anita Baker, Rosie Gaines, Ike & Tina Turner). Released independently, the single had great success in Europe.
In 1994, Joyce made the decision to turn her attentions to raising her family but all the while music and the message continued to tug at her soul. She took the opportunity to start singing in church, which became the pivotal point in her career. “I saw what a difference it made to everyone there and what a difference it made to me,” she says, and soon after began to toy with the idea of releasing a Christian CD.
Ten years had come to pass while raising her family and searching for God’s voice from inside. Joyce did a lot of soul searching and listening for Him to convey what He wanted to hear from her. In 2004, she teamed up with prominent producer/engineer, Dan Workman (Beyonce, Destiny’s Child, ZZ Top), to put together a collection of inspirational songs of worship in the name of Our Lord, entitled 24/7 Intimate Praise. For all who listen, the album is as diverse and enlightening as the message that it sends - one of peace, hope, faith and love.

Hello, How are you? I just wonted to stop by and Share some music on your space. have a fabulous seccessful week, much Luv. Recording Artist: "Tony Gauff"
I have been around... Cried my share of tears... I have caused my share of sadness... And not shared in others sadness and fears... I have been around... And smiled my share of smiles ... I have done what it takes to be happy... And yet not done anything truly worthwhile... I have shared my share of hunger... And played my caring part ... Done nothing for the less fortunate... And pretended all these years that I had a heart... Today, it's confession time... Let me spill the beans... I am as guilty...maybe more… as others that I have blamed... But today, I want to come clean... Take all I have...Take it all and much more... I have enough...
Take some of my love...
Let me open my hearts rusty door... and let some air in... And truly share and care...
And let some care out and let some care in... I will not just close my eyes and pretend ... I did not see... Today, I want to give to the World... What life has generously given to me... Take it all...TAKE MUCH MORE... today I will not measure or count... Today Dear Life...LET ME LEARN TO POUR

PS...Joyce, of course you are also part of The 5th's "Girls' Song"...meaning you were a GREAT Lady of the 5th...and always are!!!
So much to do... So little time... Ahhhh...Dear Heart...slow down... you are gulping the wine...
Sometimes the wine needs to be rolled... in your soul... Sometimes it needs to be soaked in your skin... and slowly allowed to come on in... To your life...to your world... and gently unfurl...
Sometimes the cup is taken away quickly from your lip... Before you have even taken the first sip... Sometimes the jug is still full to the brim... But your glass is taken away...by HIM... Who knows how much wine...? Is our TIME...? Some blossoms will yearn all their life and never be granted... a sip of sunshine they desperately needed to stay sane... or deeply wanted...
We are granted...What we granted… No less...no more what is ours will always be ours... But only ours when its meant to be ours ... and not a moment before.. All we have is this moment... so briefly called .., NOW... AND THAT IS WHAT WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE... SOMEHOW with love
God bless you Sister! How have you been? Glad to be able to say hello, peace and God bless you. The Gospel Sound Street Music www.thegospelsoundstreet.com
