Gospel
The world has lost yet another legend…composer, songwriter, musician and singer
Dr. Reverend Jessy Dixon
March 12, 1938 – September 26, 2011
His heart wrenching, gospel compositions will live forever.
Dear Rev. Dixon,
I remember singing, “I Love to Praise His Name,” at church as a child and had no clue that you had written that song! What’s even more amazing, I had no clue that I would eventually be singing that very song (among many others) with you on stage, in foreign countries years later! The moments we spent together on and off the stage were priceless, from performing at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland to singing with Mavis Staples in Chicago and EVERYTHING in between. You exposed me to new worlds, cultures, people and experiences that have shaped every inch of my life. You showed me that there IS more to life and as long as I have life and breath…I have work to do. I’ll never forget the speech you gave us in Denmark or that time in London when it was just you, me and Miss Elsa having the coolest conversation in the lobby of our hotel the night before our performance at the Greenbelt Festival. Thanks for taking such good care of me. I have always looked up to you Rev. Dixon, you were a father figure to me. Well Done Good and Faithful Servant…Well Done.
