Archive material and source history
O'landa Draper grew up singing in Memphis churches before joining The Caravans as a teenager. Her solo career began with the 1992 album 'Holy Ground,' but it was the 1994 follow-up 'Bless the Lord O My Soul' that brought wider attention, with its title track becoming a gospel standard.
Her catalog includes songs like 'Reflections,' 'Gonna Sing Your Music,' and 'Clean Me Up.' She worked with musicians including drummer Bryan Lenox and keyboardist Phil Davis. In the early 2000s, some gospel listeners questioned her collaborations with secular artists, but she continued recording through albums like 'Supernatural' and 'Reborn.'
Draper's voice carries a blend of traditional gospel phrasing and contemporary R&B inflection. She recorded seven studio albums between 1992 and 2014, with 'Bless the Lord O My Soul' remaining her most recognized work.
