QR021116-1 Gospel/Christian (Digital Album): Carolyn Adams was born on the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago. She came from a strong, spiritually based family, which included seven children with her mother and father. It was discovered at an early age that Carolyn had a special gift from God, a beautiful singing voice; however, being naturally shy, she didn't come into her own until she got to high school. During her senior year in high school, she became the lead singer of a gospel trio named " The Jewels,". They sang all over the country of Trinidad and Tobago, including some of the largest venues around. One of the highlights of her life was being the opening act for the great gospel artists Shirley Caesar and Al Greene, both of whom headlined in a gospel extravaganza in her hometown.
