puts you in the mood, sugar?
I’m a Deuteronomy guy, myself.”
Edwin Hawkins –
Singer/songwriter, producer, god boy.
August 19, 1943 – January 15, 2018.
Aged 74 years.
Most recognized for: As a gospel singer and choir master, Edwin was hell-bent on spreading the Good News of the Lawd. Releasing 30 albums in as many years, his biggest hit “Oh Happy Day” somehow made it to #63 on RIAA’s Songs of the Century list. He also apperaed as the choir director in Steve Martin’s “Leap of Faith.” A million musical amens & hallelujas later, and it’s off to the pearlies for ‘ol Edwin.
