Destiny Is Yours

Destiny Is Yours is an album led by saxophonist Billy Harper recorded in 1989 and released on the SteepleChase label.

Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Greg Turner states "the vastly under-recognized Harper is a master tenor saxophonist who has developed a unique sound on his chosen instrument, sometimes very passionate, sometimes very lyrical. His compositions, characterized by shifting tempos and themes played over insistent vamps, always have a spiritual, uplifting quality to them. ...This is a perfect introduction to the artist's music. ".
