About Andraé Crouch
ANDRAÉ EDWARD CROUCH (July 1, 1942 – January 8, 2015) a seven-time Grammy Award-winning American gospel singer, was an American gospel singer, songwriter, arranger, record producer and pastor.
Crouch was a key figure in the Jesus Music movement of the 1960s and 1970s. As a result, helped bring about contemporary Christian music, and began to bridge the gap between black and white Christian music.
