  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, today I stand in celebration of my good 
friend Yolanda Adams on this the 10th anniversary of her radio show.
  Yolanda Adams rose to fame as one of Gospel Music's greats making her 
debut in 1988 with the acclaimed and uplifting Just As I Am album.
  Since then Yolanda has been wowing gospel audiences all over the 
world.
  Following an illustrious musical career, Yolanda began the Yolanda 
Adams Morning Show.
  Yolanda simply connects with listeners by bringing her warm, 
embracing spirit to the airwaves in a playful blend of contemporary 
music, news, interviews, and daily features that are entertaining and 
inspiring.
  The Yolanda Adams Morning Show is the longest running inspirational 
morning drive radio show of its kind.
  Currently in over 40 markets. The show has over 5 million in 
listening audience every morning.
  Yolanda and her Co-hosts Anthony Valary, and Marcus D. Wiley have 
made it about love and comradery make it about more than just a morning 
show . . . it's a celebration of friends and family.
  It is with endearing sentiment that I celebrate The Yolanda Adams 
Morning Show, and I look forward to 10 more years of un-matched 
laughter, spirituality, and celebration on the radio waves.
