Angela Primm
Singer, Speaker, Author
Dr. Angela Primm is one of the premier voices of our time. Her musical history spans genres, continents, and audiences. She has commanded the attention of megastars such as Aretha Franklin, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton, and Brooks & Dunn, as well as Southern Gospel music legends such as the late Vestal Goodman and Dottie Rambo.
Angela’s background is what dreams are made of, and she is only beginning to step into the fullness of her purpose.
She first emerged on the national stage in 1986 as a member of Dr. Bobby Jones’ New Life, a group that had a weekly presence on his television program, Bobby Jones Gospel. Being in New Life, opened doors for work as a background vocalist in Nashville’s competitive world of session work. Singing behind musical geniuses such as Andraé Crouch, Patti Austin, Bill Gaither, Rascal Flatts, and others, she added rich tones and depth of sound to each artist’s recording with her four-octave range. Her gift of song, her love of the Gospel, and her love of Gospel music have catapulted her, as the Bible says, “before great men.” Her evolution as a solo artist is the natural progression of a life divinely designed.
Angela was raised in the church by her mother, who was also a singer. Her mom would sing the foot-stompin’ and joyful “Couldn’t Keep It to Myself!” with such fervor that she would often lose her wig. But she would swoop it up and place it back on her head—backwards—and not miss a beat of her favorite song! Church members would laugh and shout right along with her. Her mother’s favorite song would also become a favorite of Gospel legend Bill Gaither, who asked Angela to sing it on one of the Gaither Vocal Band’s releases in 2013. Nearly 10 million YouTube views later, the song has been used by God to open new and exciting doors in Angela’s life and ministry. Bill and Gloria Gaither have embraced her as a daughter and always make room for her to sing in their sold-out concerts and best-selling videos.
After releasing eight solo albums, her latest CD, The Best of Angela Primm....Live, celebrates her forty years as a national recording artist, collecting the best of her live performances on almost a dozen Homecoming releases—including “Couldn’t Keep It to Myself.” The album also features duets with Aaron and Jason Crabb, Marshall Hall, Gale Mayes, and Reggie Smith, as well as live highlights from her own recordings. This acknowledgment of her journey coincides with her being awarded an honorary doctorate in Sacred Music from Wayland Baptist Theological Seminary in 2024.
Angie’s beautifully wide smile lights up a room. Her fun-filled disposition carries an exuberance that is electric and contagious! Moreover, her anointed and powerful voice, featured in films, on television shows, and on hundreds of recordings as a background vocalist, makes the cares of this world melt into puddles at your feet. Angela Primm is “a little bit of heaven” to those blessed to know her or experience her music, her joy, and her wonderful laugh!
What lies ahead for Angela Primm? Her future rests securely in God’s hands. She ministers internationally—from small churches in the Deep South to large concert halls in Romania—but one thing we know for sure is that wherever Angie goes and whatever Angie does, she will be giving her heart and soul to the people God loves, out of her love for the Lord. That’s the way it was, the way it is, and the way it always will be.
