******************
A singer, songwriter, musician, and choir director, the Reverend Quincy Fielding Jr. was born January 22, 1957, the son of music minister and singer Dr. Quincy D. Fielding Sr, who started the first Gospel Music Workshop of America chapter in St. Louis. His mother, Anetta Broadnax Fielding, was an organist. The family attended the Church of God and Quincy Jr. played bass, piano, organ, as well as drums, but ultimately focused more on organ, emulating the muscular Detroit style of playing (though he playing bass, drums, and piano on GMWA Mass Choir albums).

His first hit, 1975’s “I Feel a Change in My Life,” was recorded by the GMWA Mass Choir at its convention in New York City. Quincy Jr. re-recorded the song with the Quincy Fielding Jr. Choral Ensemble two years later. Other Quincy Jr. songs recorded by the GMWA Mass Choir include “I’m Going to Serve Him Forevermore” (1976) and “I Want to be Filled More with the Spirit” (1977). His idea for a GMWA youth choir helped jumpstart the organization’s Youth Department.

Quincy Jr. moved to Los Angeles and was an original member of the Reverend James Cleveland’s L.A. Gospel Messengers, a young adult choir formed in October 1982 that gave young songwriters an opportunity to offer new music. The first song he wrote for the Gospel Messengers was “It Can Happen to You” and he also contributed such songs as “Better to Have and Not Need.”

Quincy Jr. played for the Baptist Assembly of Free Spirit Churches Mass Choir, the O’Neal Twins, the Charles May Workshop Ensemble, Tramaine Hawkins, the Voices of Watts, the Northern and Southern Chapter Choirs of GMWA, Daryl Coley, and continued to direct the Quincy Fielding Jr. Mass Choir and the gospel choir Grace. He was ordained a pastor and led Shiloh Full Gospel Baptist Church in Los Angeles.

The Reverend Quincy Fielding Jr. passed away on August 26, 2024. We extend our condolences to his family, friends, and many fans.
