(NASHVILLE, TN) – November 5, 2020 – Entertainment One’s (eOne) GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer James Fortune celebrates, his 7th #1 Billboard Gospel single as an artist, “Nobody Like Jesus” featuring beloved artist Lisa Knowles Smith. Topping the charts once again further solidifies James Fortune as a mainstay in the gospel music industry.

Featured on Fortune’s album, Dream Again: Live From Rock City, the single “Nobody Like Jesus” featuring Lisa Knowles-Smith undoubtedly pulls listeners up or pushes them forward to a place of purpose and possibility. There is a comforting and refreshing thread of hope and faith that echoes throughout the melody. Fortune’s current album, Dream Again: Live From Rock City offers live versions of his chart-topping album Dream Again. The dynamic duo of Fortune and Ay’Ron Lewis (producer, co-writer) chose to blend unique styles of music and fan favorites into one 16-track LP featuring collaborations with Isaac Carree, Zacardi Cortez, Jalisa Faye, Minon Sarten, Todd Galberth and more. The original recording of Fortune’s single, “I Am” taken from Dream Again, peaked at #1 on the Billboard Gospel National Airplay Chart for several weeks.


James Fortune shared with Billboard, “I am in awe of God and humbled that He continues to choose me. I am thankful for God’s favor on my life and I don’t take any of it for granted. He added additionally, “As grateful as I am for this #1 song; I am overwhelmed to think there are now 12 #1 songs that He’s given me as a writer, artist or feature. It’s simple for me: I am on an assignment to tell the world about a man who knows all your flaws, but still loves you, will use you and has plans for you, in spite of it all. That’s reason enough to Dream Again!”

Fortune has released 11 albums and appeared on now 12 #1 Billboard Gospel singles as either a writer or featured artist. A partial list of James Fortune’s most notable #1 singles include: “I Believe” (Artist/Writer); “I Need Your Glory” (Earnest Pugh; Writer); “I Trust You” (Artist/Writer); “Life & Favor” (John P Kee; Featured Artist) and “You Don’t Know” (Zacardi Cortez; Writer).

His first live album, the two-disc Live Through It, dropped in 2014. In early 2017, Fortune issued the single “I Forgive Me” from the critically acclaimed album Dear Future Me, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Gospel Top Albums chart.
