Biography

Jessy Dixon, born on March 12, 1938, in San Antonio, Texas, was an American gospel music singer, pianist, and songwriter. He began performing at age five and was discovered by James Cleveland in Chicago, who recorded two of Dixon's compositions: "God Can Do Anything But Fail" and "My God Can Make A Way." In 1972, Dixon performed "The Wicked Shall Cease Their Troubling" at New York's Radio City Music Hall. This led to collaborations with Paul Simon, including tours and recordings on Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin' (1974) and Still Crazy After All These Years (1975). Dixon also worked with Bill Gaither on the Homecoming series. He was nominated for seven Grammy Awards. Diagnosed with cancer in 2010, he passed away on September 26, 2011, at the age of 73.
