Richard Smallwood, a soaring voice in gospel music, dies at 77 He became one of the country’s biggest names in gospel, with songs that were covered by Destiny’s Child, Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder.

Richard Smallwood has passed. They will call him a gospel music artist. He was that.

But Smallwood was also one of the greatest composers - period of any modern music form.

My heart is heavy. A great musical legend has left us.

I didn’t grow up in the church. But I grew up listening to gospel music. And the music of Richard Smallwood has been a significant piece of my faith journey. Take your rest, Sir. πŸ™πŸΎ

I have done a horrible job tracking #nfotd. I’ve also done a horrible job watching movies this year. I think I’ve watched 30 films maybe. On the flip side, I am CRUSHING my reading goal for the year.

Today is my second favorite day of Aquarius season…#HappyMorrisonLorde day to ALL who celebrate. Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde were born on this day in 1931 and 1934 respectively. These two women have had a profound impact on my life. Their legacy lives on.

Three years since the world lost Cheslie Kryst. I think about her often. I just read her book. To read her story you would n we know something was wrong. That is by design. Sending peace and love to those experiencing the darkness. You are not alone.
