About

Kirk Franklin has stood at the cutting edge of contemporary gospel music for over three decades, from his platinum-selling 1993 debut album Kirk Franklin and the Family to his crossover collaborations with Kanye West, Tori Kelly and Lil Baby. As a child, the Texas native displayed prodigious musical chops, learning piano at age four, receiving his first recording contract offer at seven and serving as his adult church choir’s music director at 11 years old. In 1992, Franklin assembled a 17-person choir dubbed “The Family,” and together the group released five albums and collected three Grammy Awards before disbanding in 2000. Two years later, Franklin unveiled his solo debut, The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin, which debuted at a solo career-best No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Starting with his 2005 follow-up Hero, Franklin has won the Grammy for Best Gospel Album for five consecutive solo studio releases, along with awards for singles like 2015’s “Wanna Be Happy?” and 2019’s “Love Theory.” In 2023, he shared three Grammy wins with Maverick City Music for their joint live album Kingdom Book One.

    Drop it like its...

    by lutheran on 7/27/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    I am a 52 year old follower of Jesus Christ. I Received the Lord in my life when I was 16 years old. That’s right; it was early 1973 when the spirit of God took up residence with me. I am born and raised old school Baptist. I have to admit, I have had numerous discussions about the type of Gospel Music Kirk Franklin plays. I do not particularly care for ol school secular music being used with lyrics that praise God… and honestly, I have always struggled trying to understand the music of Tye Tribbett. All of that changed Saturday at the 2nd Annual Kansas City Gospel Joy fest. I was blessed to be in attendance and see these two men of God in performance, along with James Fortune and Crystal Aiken. Regardless of what you think of Kirk Franklin’s and Tye Tribbett’s music approach, there is no question that these young men know our LORD Jesus Christ, Love our Lord, and their music ministries serve our Lord. We had a praise party the likes I am ashamed to say I had never experienced before. I need to get out more to these kinds of events. James Fortune started things off. I love young people who know the Lord and know how to verbalize it. I had not heard any of his music, but when he sang “I Trust You” it spoke to my heart. I was instantly encouraged. He was followed by “Sunday’s Best” winner Crystal Aiken. Lord, can she sing. At one point, she let us sing with her as she led us acapella through the ol classic “Do not pass me by… Savior, hear my humble cry”. Just thinking about it now brings tears down my cheeks as it did that day. Oh what a time… after a short break, which by the way all the breaks were handled very nicely by a Christian comic known as Bone Hampton, but without any introduction, this young man whom I had come to see, came to the stage and simply set the spirit of God loose in Worlds of Fun. Kirk Franklin is electric and as he said himself “I’m a mess yall” just like me. He left it all on the stage, he praised the Lord so hard Tye Tribbett came out from the back and joined him on stage because Kirk just did not want to stop… and I didn’t want him to stop. Let me just say this one more time, I am so encouraged when God reveals himself working in young people, young people who get it. By the time Tye Tribbett came on, night had fallen, the lights were on and I wasn’t sure what to expect from this dreadlocked, backpack wearing young man, but he answered that right out the box. While we were sitting there waiting in anticipation, commotion could be heard down on the front row. I could see a young man who looked like Tye Tribbett going across the front row shaking hands; he came up the aisle and shook everyone’s hand he could reach. Like Kirk Franklin earlier, who got so excited while on stage, he jumped off the stage, walked half way up the middle of the crowd and just turned our praise party out and took it to another level. Tye was in the middle of the crowd, security was trying to get to him, but he was with God’s people and we was loving him. All of a sudden the music started, we looked to the stage, his band and all his singers were on the stage setting the spirit of God loose. Tye walked through the crowd, joined his band on stage and the praise party continued. There is no question, like Kirk, Tye knows the Lord, Loves the Lord, and is in the service of the Lord. Isn’t that what it is really all about? I wrote this because I know how spiritual we get; I know how set in our traditional ways we are… “Because there go I except for the grace of God”… but I want to encourage you… If you get an opportunity to experience these young people do not deprive yourself of the message that God is sending through them to you. Tye was joined on stage by Kirk Franklin for his final song, Victory… oh my Lord. This weekend in KC, at the Joy fest, we got the message, “If he did it before, he’ll do it again. Same God right now, Same God back then”. Ain’t that the truth?

    No Show

    by Jacked on 7/27/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    I'm sure the artists did what they were supposed to do. Though I'd have to take that by faith because the "Gold Circle" seating we paid for was non-existent. They didn't even look at our tickets, so there really would have been no need for them at all. Of course the general admission made it impossible for us to be anywhere near the first five rows and regretfully our good kingdom folk refused to make room for us. We ended up just going back into the park for the rides. Could've seen Jaime Fox, had excellent seats and saved the money. Really disappointing.

    Selfishness is a sin

    by Lemondrop2 on 7/27/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    The Artist were outstanding, while Tye Tribbet was late the wait became a bore, the fans were so selfish, when they stood on the seats I could not see anything, this impacted the overall rating for this concert. Fans should know and understand that the bleacher style seating are designed if seated everyone there will have a good view of whats being presented on stage, it was pure selfishness in living color, I had VIP seating I was unable to have becuase many of the fans sat where thet felt they wanted to sit. (a partial refund or a comp should be given) Finally the worlds of fun venue should have allowed concert goers to access the concert arena at the gate adjacent to the parking lot, instead we had to park north of the site and walk south across the entire theme park to get to the concert arena, I am 57 years of age and am in need of a knee replacement, it presented a bold feat upon my being.

    Joyfestival

    by Dallion on 7/27/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    The gospel concert was very much worth the price. My family enjoyed every performer and the Christian Comedian was off the chain. He kept it clean-cut and enjoyable for the entire family. It was so wonderful to see everyone perform live on stage. We definitely are planning to come back again next year and maybe bring more of our extended family members!

    Awsome!!!!!

    by CongaBrotha on 7/26/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    Dawg!!!!!!! This concert was off the hook! James Fortune & Fiya was excellent starters, even though he didn't have his own live band it was still good. The three BGVs from Fiya were tight too. Next up was Crystal Aiken...Boy!!!!! Home girl can blow!! I loved the songs from her cd, but what really got me was when she started to sing those old hyms. Man she tore it up. Plus she's got range. Now my boy Kirk Franklin!!!!!!!!!! Good God, man, I knew he was a short fella, but dawg my man is short! (now if I say that, its sumthan' 'cuz I'm short, but he was shorter than me!!!) lol I wish that Tye's flight was on time so that we could kept the same schedule and have Kirk last. Man his part of the show was THE best!!!!!!! Plus with his band and singers! Aww man they were smashin'!! Candy West, Sharmaine Swimpson, Anaysha Figeroera, Nikki Ross, Isaac Caree, Eric Moore(sorry if i got some names misspelled or mismatched) but these folks can blow!!!!! And last but not least was Tye Tribett & G.A.!!!!! I like them and they were tight and the band!!!! Dude Tye had some of his horns there and they were tearin' it up!!! I like Tye and I love his music, but it was going fast and never really slowed down so thats why i likedKirk better. All in all tho' it was still an amazing experience!

    KC Joyfest 2009 was wonderful

    by 2GsGirl on 7/26/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    My family and I were completely drawn into the presence of our Heavenly Father by the music, antics and liveliness of the performers. Each one came with their own life experience and directed us to Christ instead of themselves. It was a great time for "checking" myself. God was glorified at this concert. I look forward to next year's Joyfest concert and woud be willing to find Kirk and Crystal performing elsewhere around the country. Tye's group is HIGH energy! Loved his song God is the same today as he was in the past. All the performers were excellent. I had never seen Crystal or Tye before. Nice surprise.

    Kirk and Tye was off the chain!!!!!!!1

    by MBoyd on 7/26/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    It was so much energy out there it was crazy. I enjoyed myself I just couldn't keep still. Kirk was off the hook and his background singers. James Fortune sung my "I Will Trust U. Tye Tribett is just tight. He sung all my favorite songs. I would like to see them come back to Kansas City again.

    Joyfest 09

    by Tspruiel on 7/26/09Worlds of Fun - Kansas City

    I thought this was an awesome ministry. I wish it would have lasted longer. Kirk Franklin and Tye Tribbett was off the hook as well as Crystal Aikens and James Fortune. I would definetely go see them again whenever they return to Kansas City. Way to go Kansas City. Please leave comedian at home next time. He was not funny.

    Kirk Frankin is Unbelievable

    by MamaPraise on 7/16/09St Agnes Baptist Church - Houston

    My husband, daughter and I had an amazing time at the Kirk Franklin concert. We discovered him to be a true entertainer and vessel of praise. He delivered a solid, powerful performance that spoke to the hearts of and appealed to every person in the audience, especially the kids. Not in any way bashful, Kirk bridged the gap between gospel and hip hop seemlessly and has made a whole new generation adapt the attitude that "It's cool to praise and worship Christ Jesus!" The only downfall was that the sound system at St. Agnes Church was horrible and diminished the potential power of the two opening acts. They could not be understood or enjoyed because of the screaming speakers or screeching microphones. Kirk directed his musical technicians as they worked out the kinks and finally was able to give us the concert we paid for once he hit the stage. Way to go Kirk Franklin. We'll be in the audience EVERY time you perform in Houston!
