Andrae Crouch Died
 
Andrae Crouch, often described as the “father of modern gospel music,” died Thursday in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack last week, according to news reports. Crouch, 72, has been hospitalized in recent years for a variety of health issues, including diabetes and cancer.


Crouch won seven Grammy awards during his career and is credited with blending traditional black gospel music with R&B, pop and Christian music. Crouch led choirs that appeared on massive pop hits such as Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” and Madonna’s “Like A Prayer.” He received an Academy Award nomination for his compositions for “The Color Purple,” and his music can be heard in “The Lion King” musical, too. Elvis recorded “I’ve Got Confidence,” also by Crouch, for his 1972 gospel album.
