Biography
Early musical career
Lawrence took on The Tri-City Singers after a friend vacated his position as musical director. (NOTE: The three cities that The Tri-City Singers come from are Spartanburg, SC, Gastonia, NC, and Charlotte, NC.) The group debuted in 1993 with A Songwriter's Point Of View on a then-brand-new independent record label called GospoCentric Records. The set debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Gospel Charts. The group's follow-up release Bible Stories would top those same charts when it arrived in 1995. It was the first to be billed as Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers and featured black church-ubiquitous hits such as "A Message For The Saints", "I Am God" and "Stranger". The album was released on Lawrence's newly minted label Crystal Rose Records which was distributed through Sparrow Records.

Don't Forget To Remember
by: Donald LawrenceChorus:
Don't forget to remember where your blessings come from.
Don't forget to give honor where honor is due.
Don't forget to give thanks to the One who put you there.
Don't forget where your blessings come from.
Verse:
When you get a little money,
get up on your feet,
why do we change?
Get a little fortune and fame,
sign a title to your name,
why do we change?
Just like the ten in the Bible days,
who were blessed by the Lord
and went on their way.
Except one came back with gratitude,
we've got to give honor where it is due.
Vamp:
Where all our blessings,
where all our blessings,
where all our blessings come from.
Ending:
Always remember Jesus, Jesus,
