A preacher whose television ministry and songs like 'Não Pode Ser Triste' reached far beyond local churches.
For a sense of his sound, 'Não Pode Ser Triste' and 'A Ovelha Perdida' frame it well. They're straightforward, declarative gospel songs from a preacher who built a church around them.
Soares built a ministry that spread through television and radio, then filled it with his own music. Songs like 'Não Pode Ser Triste' and 'Morada do Altíssimo' became part of the catalog for his International Church of God's Grace. The work continued with tracks like 'A Ovelha Perdida', keeping his voice in worship settings long after the initial broadcasts.
He started preaching as a teenager and founded his church in 1964. By the 1970s he was releasing gospel albums, and the music kept coming for decades alongside the growth of his ministry. The catalog includes over forty albums and songs like 'Ele É Tudo Pra Mim' and 'Vencendo Vem Jesus'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
