Donald McClurkin has been praising God, singing gospel music, and dazzling audiences for his entire life. Born in Long Island in 1959, the ordained minister formed the McClurkin Singers as a teenager, before helping found the New York Restoration Choir. In 2001, he established Freeport’s Perfecting Faith Church, where he is now senior pastor. Over the years, he has won three Grammy awards, two BET awards, 10 Stellar awards, two Soul Train awards and one NAACP award, while penning platinum and gold CDs with classics like Stand and We Fall Down. On February 23, the tall, raspy tenor with the rich, powerful voice will perform at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts as part of the venue’s celebration of Black History Month.
