Christine Flowers

She participated in the Sunday morning services at Big Bethal and Ebenezer Baptist churches in southwest Atlanta, where gospel riveted through her adolescent bones.

Her classmates were the children and relatives of the more prolific figures and leaders of the Civil Rights Movement of that era (Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Abernathy and Hosea Williams).

She was also much influenced by the rich R&B and soul scene of the day through her classmates, whose immediate family members where those including Gladys Knight & The Pips and Diahann Carroll.

She gained her professional experience doing numerous ensemble shows, fronting funk and groove bands and doing studio background vocals for country artists such as Reba McEntire, Tammy Wynette and Charlie Rich.

Flowers wrote the lyrics for three songs, composed and produced by Francois Quillet, which has been released on a mini CD in 1994 under the name Colors & Light, in Montpellier, France.
