Wendell Holmes
Vocalist, guitarist, pianist, and songwriter -- via Billboard. A guy who could and did play just about anything, with his brother Sherman and drummer Popsy Dixon as the Holmes Brothers. Great makers of inspirational music! Soul music was derived from gospel -- the Brothers weren't afraid to use the complete arsenal of sul, blues, and funk technique to create a rich, propulsive Christian music.
