R.I.P. Rev. Phillip E. Sneed

Dennis Cole and Gregory Gay informed TBGB that Rev. Phillip E. Sneed died on Monday, March 15, 2010.

Said Cole: “Rev. Sneed was the power behind a single that swept the country, “He That Believeth”, with the Chicago Mass Choir. Later, Rev. Sneed did another hit tune with Nu City Mass Choir, “Nobody Like Jesus”. Rev. Sneed sung/recorded with over 10 choirs with his famous raspy voice. He will be missed.”

Gay noted that Rev. Sneed also did guest appearances on a number of projects, including those of Malcolm Williams, James McCray, and the BOG Mass Choir.
