Kirk Franklin is the singer behind the song "There is Something About the Name Jesus."
Franklin is a gospel singer and he underwent considerable turmoil in his youth. He was born on January 26, 2024 in Fort Worth, Texas. Abandoned by his mother and never having known his father, Franklin was reared by his Aunt Gertrude, a deeply religious woman who raised him as a strict Baptist.
When he was four, she paid for his piano lessons by collecting aluminum cans. The lessons were money well spent, for Franklin was a natural musician who could sight read and play by ear with equal facility. At age 11, he was leading the Mt. Rose Baptist Church adult choir near Dallas.
In September of 2015, he announced the release of the controversially titled, Losing My Religion. The pre-release single, "Wanna Be Happy," appeared in October and ran right up the charts. It was followed in November by the full-length.
