Former EMI Gospel recording artist Darwin Hobbs and his lovely wife, Traci, will be featured in a special series that the CBS Early Show is airing tomorrow (Tuesday).

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Traci and I to tell our story to the CBS Early Show audience,” says Hobbs. “It was so timely, in that it came just as I began writing songs for my newest recording venture… an album full of songs that speak about love and relationships. Traci and I shared the good, bad, and the ugly parts of our marriage and friendship during the interview. We simply held true to our policy that `transparency is key’. For all my recording career, I’ve only sang songs about my faith and relationship with God, but God himself is opening doors for me to become a positive catalyst towards people falling in love and STAYING IN LOVE. We want couples to develop a perpetual YES in their relationship. We believe a YES cancels out a NO any day!”

This coming week, the CBS Early Show will air a five-part series called “Happily Ever After”. Last year, CBS invited couples to write in and tell their stories. After receiving thousands of letters, five were chosen. The Hobbs segment airs tomorrow in the 8AM hour. “CBS spent like nine hours with us a couple of weeks ago at our home in Atlanta,” says Hobbs. “They captured me singing to Traci (the song I wrote for Traci).... filmed me swimming at the YMCA and Traci working out.”

Hobbs is best known for his radio hits such as Glorify Him, Everyday with Michael McDonald and a gospel remake of Luther Vandross’ So Amazing that even Vandross loved.

Speaking of Vandross, Hobbs also has been chosen to compete on the ABC’s networks upcoming series, “The Next Big Thing.” The show, which premieres on May 30th at 8:00PM ET/7:00PM CT, is about a nationwide search for the best celebrity impersonators. Viewers will get to cast their votes for their favourite impersonators, who also will be critiqued by a panel of celebrity judges. Hobbs, who taped his appearance on April 28th, will impersonate Vandross.
