REV. TIMOTHY WRIGHT

Reverend Timothy Wright, the Godfather of Gospel Music, died on June 11, 2009, at the age of 61.

Reverend Timothy Wright was no stranger to gospel music. He became an anchor for gospel choirs across the country. His music was considered "Sunday Morning Ready" with a diverse array of traditional and contemporary gospel music.

Timothy Wright Rev. Wright first developed his talents at the St. John's Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God in Brooklyn, New York. In his spare time, he wrote poetry and began to play the piano at age 12. This would soon lead him to composing for the church's choir.

A pivotal moment in his budding career came in 1969 when he began playing the piano for the late Bishop F.D. Washington at the Washington Temple C.O.G.I.C. in Brooklyn. Through that association, he was selected as organist for the Rev. Isaac Douglas and the New York community choir. With the exception of one, all the selections on Douglas' classic best-selling 1971 album, "Lets Go Higher," were written by Rev. Wright. This album was a landmark recording in the early development of contemporary choir sound.

In 1976, he founded the Timothy Wright Concert Choir. Some of the choir's award winning and best selling releases include, "Who's On The Lord's Side?" and "Do You Know The Light?" He has also recorded with choirs across the county. Of these recordings, his most memorable hits include: "Troubles Don't Last Always," "Master, Can You Use Me?" and "Yes, I'm A Believer."

In addition to this, Rev. Timothy Wright also recorded a Stellar Award winning project with Myrna Summers, entitled "We're Gonna Make It." In fact, one of his projects, "Come Thou Almighty King," which garnered national recognition, was recorded with a 500 voice choir, made up of New York's best gospel artists.
