He is known as "the father of black gospel music" 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 blues 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 Chicago 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 Mahalia Jackson 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 Albertina Walker, 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.

Malinda Paige’s sister) Thomas A. Dorsey (1973), by adding it to the United States 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.

Julie Lane’s stepfather and mother) Lord" has been recorded by Albertina Walker, Elvis Presley, Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Clara Ward, 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 The Caravans 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.

Mike Parker (Death of his sister) those of W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

    Famous Song-"Precious Lord" Last Updated Saturday, 11 April 2009 15:40 Thomas A. Dorsey In our last issue (3-28-09) this wonderful Story stated that the song’s author was Tommy Dorsey, a band leader in the 30’s and 40’s. Thanks to Holly Lake Ranch resident, Don Teems, we want to give you the rest of the story. It was Thomas A. Dorsey, a black musician, who was the real composer of Precious Lord and hundreds of other gospel hymns. W.C. THE BIRTH OF THE SONG ‘PRECIOUS LORD' ‘Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn, Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light, Take my hand, Precious Lord, Lead me home.' When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near, When my life is almost gone, Hear my cry, hear my call, Hold my hand lest I fall: Take my hand, Precious Lord, Lead me home. When the darkness appears And the night draws near, And the day is past and gone, At the river I stand, Guide my feet, hold my hand: 1 / 3 Famous Song-"Precious Lord" Last Updated Saturday, 11 April 2009 15:40 Take my hand, Precious Lord, Lead me home.' The Lord gave me these words and melody. He also healed my spirit.

  • Introduction & Historic Perspective
    CAMP DOUGLAS September 1861-December 1865 (A Chicago story that must be told) View of Camp Douglas, September 1864, looking Southwest. (Image courtesy of Chicago Historical Society) 12-13 “Some institutions exist, and pass away to be forgotten; others never die, but live eternally in the memory. They possess associations clinging around them, and entwined in every fiber of their existence, so closely allied to the interest of the community that time only serves to mellow the interest, and clothe them in everlasting importance. Of these, not the least in the minds of the citizens of Chicago is Camp Douglas.” I. N. Haynie, Adjutant General of the State of Illinois, 1865. Camp Douglas (1861-1865) –A Chicago Story that must be told The Chicago Story that Must be Told: Reconstruction of a portion of Camp Douglas, one of the most significant Union Civil War prison camps, is important to the history of Chicago. Camp Douglas was more than a prison camp. As the largest reception and training center for Union soldiers in Northern Illinois, Camp Douglas was the most significant Civil War facility in Chicago. In addition to training over 30,000 Union soldiers, Camp Douglas was one of the few Union camps that received and trained African American soldiers. Providing a place for young and old to see and touch our heritage is important to retaining a historic perspective. Giving an educational opportunity to our youth is critical to providing them with a sound historic foundation. Sharing with all the role of African Americans during the Civil War, as part of the Camp Douglas restoration, offers a unique opportunity to tell the story of over four-million slaves who emerged from the war to join Northern freemen in the quest for racial equality.

Driving by you might notice its bright orange awning but, unless you have rented a space within it, you may never have stopped to study the structure. But the next time you pass by, do stop-it's a unique and important building that deserves a good long look. It is the Hyde Park Self Storage building at 5155 Sou th Cottage Grove Avenue, originally called the Washington Park Fireproof Warehouse. Construction of the Washington Park Fireproof Warehouse began in 1905 during a period when many household storage buildings were being erected in Chicago, especially in its southern residential areas. Other warehouses built during this storage building heyday were once located nearby on Cottage Grove and Drexel Avenues. Although these other warehouses have been demolished, the Washington Park Fireproof Warehouse survives, and even continues to operate as a storage warehouse-its original function. And, thanks to the building's sturdy design and construction, and careful stewardship by its owners over the years, the building's original exterior has The Washington Park Fireproof Warehouse in 1905.

Daley And a Cast of Thousands By Wil Haygood Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, October 5, 2008; M01 CHICAGO The figures are stilled in lovely black-and-white portraits along the walls of Josephine Wade's soul food restaurant here on the South Side. There's Lou Rawls. And Aretha Franklin. "I do all of Aretha's cooking when she comes to town," Wade says. There's the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., from 1966, sitting next to the Rev. A.R. Leak, Wade's godfather. Both men are in suits and thin ties and grinning broadly. There's Harold Washington, the city's first black mayor, who died in office in 1987 and remains a mythic figure across this city. The Captain's Hard Time eatery, despite its name, is a swanky place, with pink napkins and white table linen. A waitress in soft-soled shoes glides by -- slowly, no need to rush -- carrying a plate of chicken wings, collard greens, candied yams and corn bread. "A good many of the judges elected in Chicago got elected right here in my dining room," says Wade. She's talking about the schmoozing, the dealmaking, the quest for endorsements and votes that draws aspiring pols here come election time. The South Side never had the silky ties to whites and international celebrities like Harlem and its famed literary renaissance.
