piano players

[Norman]

Do you know of a woman piano player as good as or better than Kim Collingsworth? I'm not suggesting she is the best, I'm just asking who is as good or better.

On the gospel music circuit? NO!!!!!!!

Who's Kim Collingsworth? Never heard of her.

I hadn't heard of her either! So I went to Youtube to see if there was anything there with her playing, just to see.... my socks are knocked off... let me tell you that lady can play AND worship... IMO I think she is better than Anthony Burger!

There are many in music that are MUCH better. The classical and jazz fields are full of them.

Agreed!

I'm sure there are those in classical and jazz "MUCH better," but in terms of talent and worship, Kim is hands-down unbeatable...at least until someone else comes along.

Her rendition of "How Great Thou Art" reaches down so far within me, I find myself tearing up and wiping my eyes while watching.

They'll be in Terrell, TX in May. And I can't wait to be a part of it...

Better than Anthony Burger? I'm not sure about that (although Anthony's version of How Great Thou Art did not impress me much) and my sister would strongly disagree.
I know there are classical pianists that are better; maybe I should have specified those who play Christian music.
