Vernessa Mitchell - This Joy (1998)

Vernessa Mitchell is an R&B/soul/gospel/house music artist from Pasadena, California. She and her sister Barbara Mitchell were first discovered and introduced to the music industry by producer Melvin Ware in the mid-70s, and later they also became part of the 1970s MOTOWN R&B vocal quartet High Inergy. She left the group in 1978 to pursue a gospel career after becoming a born-again Christian. Mitchell released two gospel/CCM music albums during the 1980s. This Is My Story was released in 1985 and Higher Ground followed in 1988.

Although she had success as a gospel/CCM artist, Mitchell has also done well as a Gospel dance diva. Her uplifting house songs have charted seven times on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play with gospel/inspirational themed dance songs "Reap (What You Sow)" (#19/1996), "This Joy" (#5/1998), "Issues" (#12/2000), "Serious" (#37/2003), "Took My Life" (#2/2004; #1 Club Play track in 2004 year-end chart) and "Accept Me"(#1/2005).
