RIP Bishop Kervy Brown, Gospel Singer and Church Leader
Dennis Bines informed JGM that gospel singer and church leader Bishop Kervy Brown passed away from an apparent heart attack on Sunday, July 7. He was 65.
Born in New York on May 21, 1959, Kervy was inspired by the singing of his mother, Mary Brown, lead vocalist with the Faith Gospel Singers. For his part, Kervy went on to sing with the Bronx Mass Choir. Through Bishop Albert Jamison’s introduction, Brown became part of the Gospel Music Workshop of America at age twenty and remained a member of GMWA for more than forty years. He can be heard leading the Youth Choir on “Pass Away,” from the GMWA recording The Tampa Experience (2004).
