He’s adopted his wife’s daughter, and he and his wife have to kids of their own. He even adopted his stepdaughter, who was born in 1989, only a year after his son was born. They both have kids from previous relationships born one year apart, and they took in one another’s child without any hesitation. They knew one another for many years prior to their relationship taking a different turn. It was 1996 when Kirk Franklin married his long-time friend. His aunt tried to handle it, but he later ended up getting his girlfriend pregnant and then getting expelled from school because of his behavior. It’s not uncommon (not that anyone wants to deal with it). However, he did find some time to rebel against that as a teen. It’s obvious to us that his aunt was strict with him, and that is a good thing. By the time he was 11, he was the choir director of the adult church choir. When we learned that her nephew had a musical contract at the age of seven and she turned it down and encouraged him to join the church choir instead, we loved her even more. We knew when his aunt took him in and then recycled cans to ensure her nephew could take piano lessons that we liked her. His aunt recognized his sheer musical talent, and she raised money to pay for piano lessons for her young nephew by recycling cans. We imagine that’s the definition of a child prodigy. He was so musically inclined that he was able to read music and write music by ear at such a young age.
She didn’t have the money to give him the world, but she did what she could to make sure that he had every opportunity possible. She didn’t want anything to do with him, but his aunt took him in and made him feel right at home. He was raised by his Aunt Gertrude after his biological mother abandoned him when he was just a baby. His childhood had the potential to be very ugly, but he did not allow that to become part of his life. It’s a place where the southern hospitality you find in so many Texas men is abundant, and we have a feeling it has a lot to do with the man he is today. It’s a suburb of Dallas, and it’s a lovely place to live. And, those are just the ones he’s brought home. He probably has more awards in his life than most people can even imagine, but we want to focus on the big ones. He is taking good care of himself, though, and that is obvious. If we are being honest, we would have pegged him for someone a lot younger.
If you’re unfamiliar with him right now, we promise you’ll know all about him when you’re done reading. He’s been making waves in his industry for a very long time, and he’s the kind of guy everyone should pay attention to.
He’s an author and a songwriter, and he’s an all-around cool guy. Franklin is a gospel singer and a choir director. He’s a man who works to uplift the entire world with his words of wisdom, his beautiful music, and his gift. If you don’t know Kirk Franklin, it’s time to get to know him.
