Cornelius’ third attempt at recording was successful and God allowed STRONG to finish and release an album in 2000, entitle Persuaded with “The Soul Influence”, produced by Jesse Murrah- *Essej* of Straight Company. STRONG co-wrote/ arranged and soloed verses on the album. Guided by God, STRONG Departed the group in 2001, ventured off as a solo producer/ vocalist/ writer/ composer/ and arranger.
