Groundbreaking gospel performer Andraé Crouch has died at the age of 72. Crouch worked with the biggest names in pop music but remained revered in church. Here's a link to a Guardian newspaper story which has put together five performances that attest to his unique legacy. "The great American evangelist Billy Graham called him the greatest hymn writer of our age, the modern-day John Wesley,” a young LeVar Burton says as he introduces Crouch in the video below. The song, 'Can’t Nobody Do Me Like Jesus' is a pillar of contemporary gospel, performed often in churches; and yet, Crouch works the number like a Motown star, with a sweating, open-shirted, suave look – complete with gold chain and chest hair – that would look as at home on Marvin Gaye or Isaac Hayes.
