When Destiny’s Child was looking to do a gospel medley for the 2001 album “Survivor,” Michelle Williams suggested “Total Praise” to fellow group members Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. Williams was a longtime fan of the song and taught it to the other two. “I’m a church girl,” Williams said in an interview.
The gospel medley was the last song on the album, and Smallwood’s “Amen” chorus was the final part of the medley. “To end the album with amen, it is finished, was a perfect fit,” Williams said.
