7X Grammy® Award winning music legend, Gladys Knight(of “Midnight Train to Georgia” fame) and veteran recording artist/actor, Javen, have come together for an inspiring new holiday track, “Joy of Christmas” (Mainstream Media Partners, Inc.), that releases on digital music platforms everywhere on December 20th. The song is featured in the Great American Family network’s new film, A Little Women’s Christmas, that is a contemporary retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved 1800s novel about the lives and loves of the March sisters, Little Women.

“Joy of Christmas” was co-written by William McDowell, Mauricio Alejandro Guerrero and Brandon Clark. Javenproduced the heartfelt song alongside Guerrero and Clark. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Gladys Knight opens the tune with her trademark alto and Javen enters on the second verse, singing with a warm, soulful tenor. Together, they sing it passionately and with the backing of a joyous gospel choir. Pre-order link: https://joyofchristmas.lnk.to/JoyofChristmas

In the film, Javen, who has appeared in films such as The Preacher’s Kid and The Engagement Plot, portrays Pastor Henderson who is organizing a Christmas tree lighting service at the church the March sisters attend. His character has known the young women since they were children and surprises them when his mother Burti Henderson (portrayed by Knight) comes to town, and they sing “Joy of Christmas” at the service. The film is now showing on the Great American Family Network: https://www.greatamericanfamily.com/movie/a-little-womens-christmas
