What did Mary Atieno say to gospel musicians?

In another story, Mary commented that many contemporary gospel artistes focus more on social issues than on scripture-based messages.

She also highlighted that gospel songs from earlier generations followed a distinct pattern, different from secular music, unlike many of today’s songs.

Mary began her singing career in 1979 after God miraculously healed her from a heart condition that doctors struggled to diagnose.
