  • NPR Music's Tiny Desk series will celebrate Black History Month by featuring four weeks of Tiny Desk (home) concerts and playlists by Black artists spanning different genres and generations each week. The lineup includes both emerging and established artists who will be performing a Tiny Desk concert for the first time. This celebration highlights the beautiful cornucopia of Black music and our special way of presenting it. We hope you enjoy.
    Bobby Carter | February 25, 2021
    Kirk Franklin, set up with his band and choir in a corner of Uncle Jessie's Kitchen, makes a declaration. "I know you're at home right now, in your draws, listening to some Jesus music. It's ok. Jesus loves you in your draws!" The Arlington, Texas studio, named after a long time close friend, features a large photo of the iconic "I AM A MAN" protest signs from the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Strike on the wall. The jubilant energy that Franklin and company emit, juxtaposed with a visual reminder of the strife that Black people have endured is illustrative of the importance of gospel music in the Black community.
    For nearly 30 years, Franklin has been widely regarded for revolutionizing gospel. He incorporated secular music, particularly hip-hop, while preserving the message and integrity of traditional gospel. Here, he and his powerhouse choir pace through a decades-long, sixteen Grammy award winning discography of faith, praise and encouragement while cracking plenty of jokes. I cannot recall a more moving Tiny Desk home performance.
    All month long, we've presented artists that speak to the diversity and complexity of Black music--where we've been, where we are and where we're going. For the final show, we take it back to the spiritual roots and there's no one more fitting to cap things off than Mr. Kirk Franklin.

A few weeks ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, last night my grandma was talking to Jesus and He told her He had healed her. All the pain is gone. We woke up at 3 am to talk to Jesus and thank Him. Please join me in thanking Him and making my grandma's miracle whole.

I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God "God please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! ❤ God is good!

    For anyone who don’t know who Kirk Franklin is, he’s a gospel genius. He has never really been a singer but he writes his own music and lyrics. He finds the best singers and musicians to bring his music to life. He’s a Gospel legend, and he’s not even done yet.

      He’s not a singer, but he is a KILLER musician. Kirk can write a song, assemble a choir, blend voices.....etc. if you don’t know him, you late to the party. Don’t analyze it. Listen to the old stuff and get that Kirk Franklin experience.

    27 years ago I bought a CD by an artist named Kirk Franklin about whom I knew nothing. When I heard "Silver and Gold" I sat almost breathless for the entire song. It has accompanied me over the last 3 decades, through the ups and downs, and has kept a very special place in my heart, in my spirit. When they started in on Silver and Gold on Tiny Desk I just lost it. Like seeing a dear friend after many, many years. After witnessing an act of unconditional kindness. Like being wrapped in the arms of love. Like feeling lost in wilderness and then realizing that you are connected to something far greater than yourself. That you are cared for. That YOU care.

You could give this dude a quartet of plastic recorders played by 5-yr olds and we'd all still be making our stank face and bobbing up and down.
