After Tamela Mann’s 11th number one Billboard Gospel Radio hit, “Working for Me” (And soon to be number 12 “Deserve to Win” I’m sure!), I decided to compile a playlist of the best of the best plus one!
The plus one for me is, “Through it All” featuring Timberland. That should’ve been her 13th number one single in my opinion. So, without further rambling here we go!
Top Playlist Worthy Tamela Mann Songs
Take Me To The King
How many times have you heard this on a commercial for a funeral home?
I Can Only Imagine
Christian Band MercyMe sang it first, but when Tamela got ahold of it all I could say was, “Mercy Me!”
This Place
This song was Tamela Mann’s third number one song, and it happened on a very special day. Mann said in 2015, “This is truly an honor, and a wonderful gift to receive on my birthday!”
God Provides
Throw this one on when you can’t see your way out of something difficult. Trust me, God Provides!
Change Me
2017 saw the debut of “Change Me.” I saw her perform this live and almost ascended to heaven. Keyword: Almost.
Potter
In a Bible.com 7-day Devotional, Tamela said that she identified with “Potter” because she is “the clay that God molded.”
Mann continued by saying, “I am the earthen vessel that God shaped into something, even though I saw myself as nothing. I used to be a girl with many insecurities. I used to point out all of my imperfections. And still, God saw fit to use me for His glory.”
Touch From You
“Touch From You” spent five weeks on the top of the gospel charts to which Tamela explained, “We’ve all just been trying to survive. It hit home with everyone.” Yep… that was 2020 at the height of the pandemic.
Help Me
Tamela Mann was going for an old school quartet sound in this song. Here’s the live version… Nailed it.
He Did It For Me
On social media, Mann said that, “He Did It For Me” was her personal testimony and was “birthed out of looking at my life and saying, with God, I can accomplish and overcome,’ and He can do that for you too.”
Finished
“Finished” was Tamela Mann’s 10th number one Billboard gospel hit. Mann wrote this one with another gospel hit maker, Travis Greene. The single is at the end of the “Overcomer” album to which Tamela said, “Finished gives it a period. I love that the lyrics declare, ‘He who has begun a work in me is faithful to finish what He started.”
Working For Me
The banjo and “fiddle” threw me off at first but the moment I heard, “I will live my life like a blind man, I can’t see it, I can’t see it, but I still believe, I still believe that it’s working out for me,” I was in tears. Still works for me too. Tamela Mann is a Treasure!
