The Rance Allen Group record live project in Detroit.

GOSPEL pioneer Rance Allen spoke to Billboard about his forthcoming live album for Tyscot Records. Recorded at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple, the project is the first live album for the Rance Allen Group in its 33 year career. "I honestly was afraid of doing a live album," Allen confesses. "I'm so used to that studio comfort where you can go in and if you don't know the words you can write them down and sing them off the paper. If you make a mistake, you can stop the whole shebang and start over again." CR
