I was channel surfing this Sunday morning as I did not go to church. I was on YouTube and at some point I saw the name Jimmy Dowell and St James Missionary Baptist Church. I said I wonder if that´s Jimmy Dowell from my hometown Muskegon. Everyone knew Jimmy Dowell around town. He was at every church event that I attended back then. I sat and watch several videos of Jimmy Dowell. It blessed my soul today! May Jimmy Dowell memories live on! I will see him in the Rapture!

I discovered Jimmy Dowell directing the Detroit Mass Choir singing "The Storm Is Passing Over" Jimmy is simply amazing with his director techniques. I so much wish I had a chance to meet him. Right now I watch him a lot. I just found out he is no longer with us. I tried to find out as much as I could about him since he was most impressive. What a great man! May his soul forever rest in peace! ♥

I love your musical arrangement and your style of directing. I am learning to say out loud "thank you" for spiritual gifts such as you gave: "The Storm is Passing Over" is a gift that keeps on giving forever! See you in the morning... BLESSINGS to you and your loved ones. À

My heart is filled with sadness yet fond memories of "The Master Conductor" Jimmy R. Dowell. I've admired his musical talents for years. I had the privilege of meeting him personally. He possessed a warm and spiritual demeanor. Continue to put your trust in the Lord, for He never fails!

JD, was my friend. I will miss him. The, music of the late Rev. Charles H. Nicks Jr. and Jimmy Dowell, will forever be with me. I had the pleasure of enjoying him at a musicians dinner in September.
