Tonight's post is about one of the most anointed gospel singers out there, Darryl Coley. He is a East Bay native of the San Francisco area who has as much of a jazz influence in his music as gospel. He was born in 1955 and was brought up in church, though his mother also loved to listen to classical and jazz music during the week. He was a musical prodigy that learned the clarinet in high school and taught himself how to play the piano. He's sung with the legendary Hawkins family, and actually served as musical director for Tramaine Hawkins. He's also performed with Nancy Wilson, who he considers to be a mentor for him. The clip I'm sharing here is from a live recording session in Los Angeles called "He's Right On Time". The song is "You Are My Everything", and the female soloist is B.J. Crosby.
They've both had health issues in the past year, so remember to keep them in your prayers. And have a blessed evening!
