- This year's Black History Month celebration at the Tiny Desk features a carefully crafted lineup spanning many genres, generations and walks of life. Each artist represents the best in their class and will be performing at the Tiny Desk for the first time.
Bobby Carter | February 20, 2023
The powerful messages of her music, magnified by the strength of Tamela Mann's vocals, made for a tearful Tiny Desk concert. These were happy tears; eventually, Tamela herself, overcome with emotion, explained how singing her songs helps keep her faith intact. After closing with one of her signature songs, "Take Me to the King," she gave us some parting words of encouragement. "Let's just hold on to faith, hold on to hope, hold on to joy," she said, "because it still exists in our society."
The Fort Worth, Texas, native's calling was evident early in her childhood, wowing the congregation at Holy Tabernacle church by the time she was 12. Her career has since stretched far beyond music. After meeting Tyler Perry in 1999, she and her husband, actor David Mann, became integral to his explosion on the stage, television and film. Faith and family have remained at the helm throughout her decorated career, earning Stellar Awards and a Grammy. Her daughter, Porcia, coordinated their trip to Washington, D.C., while her daughter Tia sang background, and of course, David was in the audience entertaining the crowd before and after the show. It's impossible to tell the history of Black people in America without the gospel, and Tamela Mann represented at NPR headquarters.

NPR... we need more gospel tiny desks!!!
Say it again for the people in the back!!! 🗣🗣
I agree.
Several gospel artists cannot sing live and not articulant. They can scream and shout with the best. Tiny Desk is not going to ruin their representation with artist who cannot perform.
Amen
Amen
I am so incredibly mad that the algorithm made me wait 7 days to find out this happened. Tamela is ONE OF A KIND....and BEEN that way for decades! Thank you NPR for honoring an icon!
You!? I’m just finding this out 2 weeks later 😒
I concur! This just came up in my feed and I'm subscribed to this channel!
2 weeks here 😭😭
I literally said hold up ya'll ain't tell me this was on here! It's been 2 weeks!
2 months😭😭😭😭
Y’all should get THE CLARK SISTERS!! This was great.
Yes and they need Kierra sheard kelly too
I would fall outttt😩😩🥹
The walls of the studio would fall down. The Clark Sisters would tear up the building. Im ready. Yes please! Hallelujah!
You sure? I believe that’s her daughter’s
Agree
I would’ve tore that lil library up 🙌🏾
🤣🤣😂Don’t worry, I would have used my hoodie as your pass out cloth and fanned you with my credit cards 😊
Not one book left on them shelves!
Would've knocked all them shelves over.. Especially around that 10.04 minutes area.
Same 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
My God. I would have been running right behind you. I wish that I could have seen the reaction of the crew. Someone there had heard her before. Come through producer. My God, I needed that!!!
A long overdue Tiny Desk concert. Tamela Mann is a vocal powerhouse and example of a beautiful family dynamic.
Cece Winans tiny desk would be EVERYTHING!
I'm an atheist, but I've always loved African-American gospel music and believe they're top-tier singers in general. Very soulful and vocally strong. I'm at work on my break crying tears of love for Mrs. Mann. ❤️
I'm a Christian and I love you Sis. ❤
Wow that is really interesting.
I appreciate you sharing that.
Yes Music and specifically Gospel Music is the language of the soul.
Truth , love and light has no respect of persons! This is in us it’s our body literally recharging and cleansing itself renewing and just by the energy flowing through us onto song etc ❤️
Jesus loves you❤
She obviously wasn't feeling her best, but she still showed up and gave everything. She could have made excuse that she wasn't feeling well or was losing her voice and I wouldn't have thought twice about it. The fact that she didn't, though, shows me that she doesn't think it's all about her. She is there to minister not just perform. I love that about her - how humble she is with such a powerful gift. Thank you for having her for a TDC.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She actually went through her octaves very well and had no issue hitting higher notes
She sounds great!
Well said! Amen!
@americangoldking it's more than just hitting octaves and notes. She struggled overall. But she's usually always in great voice when we see her. She's one of my favs so Imma stick beside her, for sure. '
You have no idea of the number of lives you’ve changed and uplifted today NPR through this ministry.
💯💯💯💯
Thank you NPR. I screamed when I saw it was Tamela Mann. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
same
Meeee toooo🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you NPR, gospel singers never get enough attention with their music not being Pop, but boy can they sing live and it’s a treat for all of us to listen, god bless Tamela 💗
WHEW! Didn’t know Tamela did a Tiny Desk, she KILLED IT🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@Npr in the description y’all started her career with Tyler Perry but we’ve know Tam’s vocals from long before her work with Tyler from her working with Kirk Franklin.
Her verse on Now Behold the Lamb is forever a classic
These yougsters dont know anything about the culture Do Your Homework
@@feraynor205 TRUTH
Yep, she started in Fort Worth Texas with the Citywide Youth Choir actually. My mom sang with her and David..
I think they were saying that Tyler Perry created the bridge that took her from music to acting too. I get what you’re saying though! We’ve been loving the sound of her voice for a very long time. ❤
NPR keeps getting more and more legendary. Who would’ve thought they’d be carrying the torch for great live music and giving us straight gems👌🏾💎
Tamela Mann & Leandria Johnson my 2 favorite female gospel singers
Tamela has church every time she opens her mouth! She is worshipping every song she sings!!!
When my grandmother passed away in 2012, Take Me to the King played on the radio on my way to the funeral. It'll always have a special place in my heart. ❤️
Same song was played at my grandmothers service in the same year❤
@Yvette Kirkland prayers for you sis. Grandparents are irreplaceable. ❤️
Your comment just made me cry. I'm missing mine that passed last year
My condolences to each of you & your families ❤😇
She's incredible, and I'm so happy to see her on the Tiny Desk platform.
How am I just seeing this?!? Love hearing Tamela Mann lift up the Lord. Thank you for this blessing.

NPR Tiny Desk - please bring The Clark Sisters and The Walls Group. This was amazing and we would love to see more like this.
Thank you NPR for this one
💯🙌
A LEGENDARY POWERHOUSE! This is amazing, Tiny Desk!
Love the diversity and representation! 👏🏾👌🏾
As soon as she said A WON-DER-FUL CHANGE🎶🎶🎶!!!! 😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That gets me eveytime!!!!!
I know right? My eyes and nose got to running right there! Tamalaaa!!! Just wrecked me!!!!
I lost my faith gradually over the past few years as I succumbed to a multitude of hardships, failures, and loss..and I honestly stumbled upon this gem by chance..and as soon as she spoke- I was intrigued...then the lush guitar made me stay..by the time they all started playing/singing I was overwhelmed with the love and hope I had backslid from.. It moved me in such a way that i felt compelled to share and rejoice. Thank you Tamela and your amazing band for being a fisher of men and for opening my eyes. 1❤
🙏🏾☝🏾🧡
Soulful truth……❤
God bless you!
AMEN!
@tokasaurusrex you never lost your faith and Jesus never left your side. He brought you out of each hardship and walked your through each loss you endured. He brought you to this Tiny Desk at that time because he loves you more than you could ever imagine. Receive His love, receive His grace, know that His mercy redeemed you the very first day you accepted Him as your savior. Know that He only saw you as redeemed and justified in His eyes. Much love to you and meditate on Galatians 3:9-15 and receive the revelation of His love
Clicked so fast when I saw her name.
❤
So did I!!
Like Fr fr!!! 👍🏽
I screamed, then clicked.
I listen to the Kirk Franklin tiny desk every single day. I’m here for more gospel tiny desks
Love the way Tamela worked Tremaine Hawkin's. "A Wonderful Change" in after singing. "Change Me"!
I've seen a LOT of these Tiny Desk performances. But I've never seen one like this. This is EVERYTHING. 🙌🏾🙏🏾💜
How is it that im just seeing this, i needed this. Mrs. Tamm is one of the best singers inside and outside gospel. You dont understand, i needed this. I been feeling list and hearing this song always brings my spirit back right up.
🙏🏾🧡☝🏾
Take Me To The King does it to me everytime 😭😭😭😭😭
I love how tight the band is, especially the conversation between the electric and bass guitars in "Take Me to The King." One of the best Tiny Desks to date. 🙌🏿
I’ve been blessed to hear her minister live. It’s a must if you haven’t 🙏🏽
She does not get enough credit and she’s barely even trying . I’ve heard her hit some notes and she’s definitely my top female vocalist
About 2 months I started working at an inner city school in camden new jersey. After 19 years working in before and after school programs in cherry hill, New Jersey, I found my life has changed. My new school has given me a new purpose and a new reason to go to work each day. It's music like yours that I know the students would appreciate. Thanks !
How did I miss this as it just showed up in my feed?! Lawd she can sing!!!!
Love to see native Texans on Tiny desk love Tam and the whole family 👏🏾👏🏾
I love gospel and artists like Tamela know how to stir the emotions out of you but I have to say that every background singer in this genre have a way of putting that amen amen in a song. They don’t get enough credit. Somebody say Amen🙌🏾
Tamela Mann is one of my favorite Gospel singers May God continue to bless her and her family and keep them safe as they travel doing. God's work thankyou for the tiny desk concert❤😊
We need more Gospel Tiny Desks. I've been saying for years that I would love The Clark Sisters to do Tiny Desk.
Hold on to faith, hold on to hope, hold on to joy. Because it still exists. Thank you Tamela Mann!
☝🏾🙏🏾✊🏾👏🏾
To be honest i needed this. Thank you for having Tamela Mann on Tiny Desk. 😭❤️🙏🏾
She's just so anointed ❤️
God Provides lifted me up during one of the darkest periods in my life. I went from hopeless to knowing I am loved. Thank you, Tamela, for showing up at the right time. God speaks to me through your gift of song.
Emotions are just thoughts, you have 50k a day. You knowing you are part of God is fact, power, and protection. Just be grateful all day consistently, and those thoughts will get less and less. Tune your body & mind back to God.
Why am i just seeing this? I love tamela she is truly blessed and anointed
Thank you NPR!!! More gospel concerts please! I’ve been a big fan of your concerts for years! So happy I have more to love about NPR!!!
Just pure raw talent. What a voice! Praise God!

I’m thinking the Walls Groups should make a special feature in a future Tiny Desk…
Always love a gospel Tiny Desk. Bless everyone here 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Loved her paying homage to Tremaine Hawkins. I grew up listening to both women and miss old school church like that
I seen this and was like 👀 I know it ain't who I think it is. Dope
A vocal powerhouse!!! Love her!!
Amen Hold on!!! Nothing is too difficult for our Heavenly Father 🙌🙌
The names of the bassist and guitarist were mixed up on the description. The bassist’s name is Aaron Scott and the guitarist is Jamaal Franklin.
What a sensitive band! Great job, guys! Directing the glory to God and talking about his deeds and willing to be with him for all eternity… it was so good! Be changed! People stopped talking about that! But that’s the essential from the Gospel, right? The Good News can’t let us be the same! God bless you all.
Just what I need to start this work week!!! Come on now Mrs. Mann❤❤❤
When she sings Take Me To The King it feels as if it was just released yesterday 🔥🔥
