A great gospel singer and songwriter has passed on Monday while at home. His name was Jessy Dixon he was 73. He was a great man who found a great audience while touring and recording with Paul Simon. He wrote over 200 songs . Now thats a lot of songs over the course of 50 years. His best song was "I am Redeemed" which was a hit in 93. (Those were the days) This remained on the chart especially in the Christian world for over 5 years. Like this man was great because he played keys for Earth, Wind and Fire which is a well known group and still is. He also work with a guitarist by the name of Phil Upchurch. What made him stand out was that he left a very important mark on the gospel scene when he released 18 albums between 1964 to 2006. What important is that 5 of those albums went gold and he toured across the world till 2001.
It's sad to see a good man go. He has had a lot of accomplishments and we wish the family the best in this time of pain. He has left a significant mark on the gospel scene and has done so much.
We will miss him!
