T.D. Jakes Teams with Universal Music

Prominent pastor and author Bishop T.D. Jakes has signed a distribution and marketing agreement between his imprint Dexterity Sounds and Universal Music Christian Group. The first project to be released under the new agreement will be Sacred Love Songs II, the much-anticipated follow-up to its nearly gold-selling 1999 predecessor that featured R&B diva Shirley Murdock and Marvin Sapp. In addition, the team at Dexterity Sounds has begun work on the soundtrack for Jakes' latest film titled Jumping the Broom. Produced by Jakes and Tracy E. Edmonds, the film tells the story of two families from totally different socioeconomic backgrounds who meet for the first time at a weekend wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. (August 16, 2010)
