Thomas Andrew Dorsey (July 1, 1899, Villa Rica, Georgia - January 23, 1993,

Chicago). He is known as "the father of black " and was at one

time so closely associated with the field that songs written in the new style were

Sis. Joanne Armstrong (sis. Jackie White’s sister) sometimes known as "Dorseys." Earlier in his life he was a leading pianist known as Georgia Tom. Sis. Eboni Bradford & sons: Landen and Jeremiah (Sis. Joyce Moseley's co-worker) Sis. Barbara Collins – Health & Healing Concerns As formulated by Dorsey, gospel music combines Christian praise with the Sis. Charity Collins – Health & Sickness Concerns (Sis. Brenda Perkins-Johnson's mother) rhythms of jazz and the blues. His conception also deviates from what had Sis. Sangai Cooper (Sis. Miamah Braddox’s niece) been, to that time, standard hymnal practice by referring explicitly to the self, Bro. Ted & Sis. Annie Davis – Health & Healing Concerns and the self's relation to faith and God, rather than the individual subsumed into Sis. Mary Evans – Health & Healing Concerns (Sis. Karen Talley’s mother) the group via belief.

Sis. Annette Fletcher - Health & Healing Concerns Dorsey was the music director at Pilgrim Baptist Church in from 1932 until the late 1970s. His best Bro. Garrett Felix (Sis. Beverly Wrighten’s brother) known composition, "Take My Hand, Precious Lord", was performed by and was a favorite Bro. Marquise Fulmer - liver cancer (Sis. Joyce Moseley’s cousin) of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and "Peace in the Valley", which was a hit for Red Foley in 1951 and has Bro. Larry Garrett - Health & Healing Concerns (Sis. Ruth Garrett’s husband) been performed by dozens of other artists, including Queen of Gospel , Elvis Presley and Sis. Ruth Garrett - Health & Healing Concerns Johnny Cash. Bro. Elias Gomez, in the Hospital, MD (Sis. Lillian Patillo’s husband, Rev. Chandler’s friend) Sis. Yetta Howard - Health & Healing (Sis. Yedetta Felton’s sister) In 2002, the Library of Congress honored his album Precious Lord: New Recordings of the Great Songs of Sis. Christel Lipscomb - Health & Healing (Sis. Malinda Paige’s sister) Thomas A. Dorsey (1973), by adding it to the National Recording Registry. Dorsey's father was Bro. Oliver Latney & Family (Sis. Dolores Dennie’s cousin) a minister and his mother a piano teacher. He learned to play blues piano as a young man. After studying Sis. Linda McClenic, Richmond, VA – Health Concerns (Sis. Pat McClenic’s sister) music formally in Chicago, he became an agent for Paramount Records. He put together a band for Ma Rainey called the "Wild Cats Jazz Band" in 1924. Bro. Addison McFarland, Health & Healing, Memphis, TN (Bro. Steve Hill’s stepfather) Sis. Dorothy McFarland, Health & Healing, Memphis, TN (Bro. Steve Hill’s mother) He started out playing at rent parties with the names Barrelhouse Tom and Texas Tommy, but he was most Sis. Theresa McLaughlin - Healing (Sis. Joyce Moseley's Co-worker’s mother) famous as Georgia Tom. As Georgia Tom, he teamed up with Tampa Red (Hudson Whittaker) with whom he Sis. Brenda Mixon - Health & Healing (Sis. Adrienne Marshall’s friend) recorded the raunchy 1928 hit record "Tight Like That", a sensation, selling seven million copies. In all, he is Bro. James Murphy, Sr. – Health & Healing (Rev. Dr. James T. Murphy, Jr.’s father) credited with more than 400 blues and jazz songs.

Bro. Joseph Oliver – Health & Sickness Concerns (Sis. Ruth Garrett’s brother) Dorsey began recording gospel music alongside blues in the mid-1920s. This led to his performing at the Bro. Brian Roach - Healing and Health (Sis. Joyce Moseley's Nephew) National Baptist Convention in 1930, and becoming the bandleader of two churches in the early 1930s. Bro. Karl Roberson – Health & Sickness Concerns (Sis. Renee Purcell’s father) Bro. Darryl Shaw – Health & Healing His first wife, Nettie, who had been Rainey's wardrobe mistress, died in childbirth in 1932. Two days later the Bro. William Skipwith – Health & Healing Concerns (Sis. Judy Skipwith’s father) child, a son, also died. In his grief, he wrote his most famous song, one of the most famous of all gospel Sis. Esther Smith – Healing and Health (Sis. Joyce Moseley’s friend’s mother) songs, "Precious Lord, Take My Hand". Unhappy with the treatment received at the hands of established Bro. Bernardo Snowden – Health Concerns (Sis. Denise Snowden’s brother-in-law) publishers, Dorsey opened the first black gospel music publishing company, Dorsey House of Music. He also Rev. Rufus Snowden – Health Concerns founded his own gospel choir and was a founder and first president of the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses. Bro. Joshua Thomas – Health & Sickness Concerns (Sis. Crystal Thomas’ father) Sis. Angela Tibbs – Healing (Mother Dolores Dennis’s granddaughter and Sis. Jessica Tibbs’ sister) His influence was not limited to African American music, as white musicians also followed his lead. "Precious Bro. Frank and Sis. Lou Etta Watkins (Sis. Julie Lane’s stepfather and mother) Lord" has been recorded by Albertina Walker, Elvis Presley, Mahalia Jackson, , , Bro. Kevin and Sis. Vivian West (Mother Dolores Dennie’s friends) Dorothy Norwood, Jim Reeves, Roy Rogers, and Tennessee Ernie Ford, among hundreds of others. It was a Bro. Trey Wilburn – Health & Healing (Bro. Hosea Pickett’s friend) favorite gospel song of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.; and was sung at the rally the night before his Sis. Christina Williams – Health & Healing (Bro. Larry Pyos’ mother) assassination, and, per his request, at his funeral by Mahalia Jackson. It was also a favorite of President Bro. Craig Wright – Health & Healing (Bro. Edward Wright’s brother) Lyndon B. Johnson, who requested it to be sung at his funeral. Dorsey was also a great influence on other Sis. Sheila Yeary – Health & Sickness Concerns (Sis. Brenda Perkins-Johnson's cousin) Chicago-based gospel artists such as Albertina Walker and and Little Joey McClork.

Dorsey wrote "Peace in the Valley" for Mahalia Jackson in 1937, which also became a gospel standard. He Mourning the Loss of a Loved One… was the first African American elected to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and also the first in the Bro. Jimmy Jones (Death of his mother) Gospel Music Association's Living Hall of Fame. In 2007, he was inducted as a charter member of the Sis. Ann Vincent and Sis. Suzi Vincent (Death of her brother and her uncle) Gennett Records Walk of Fame in Richmond, Indiana. His papers are preserved at Fisk University, along with Bro. Mike Parker (Death of his sister) those of W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

Dorsey's works have proliferated beyond performance, into the hymnals of virtually all American churches and of English-speaking churches worldwide. Thomas was a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. He died in Chicago, and was interred there in the Oak Woods .
