I first heard Everett Reece when he played piano for London Parris and the Apostles(in the mid 1970s). He certainly was an accomplished accompanist.

And how do you know, Daniel? He could very well have been singing piano(softly, that is)while he was accompanying his various quartets!:-)

Did any of you folks in the Carolinas attend the Gaither show Monday night, Dec. 8th? I know they were at the Time Warner Cable Arena and the Panthers were just a few blocks away playing Tampa Bay. I think it’s the first time the Panthers have been on Monday Night Football, and Gaither has to compete with it!

I can just imagine the parking problems.

Piano.

Well, to answer your actual question, he didn’t actually sing piano, he played piano.

Perhaps Everett Reece didn’t rise to the very top echelon in the industry, but he was certainly a contributor to the genre. He was a solid pianist in every respect and a wonderful, talented and kind person. He first came on the scene with the Junior Blackwoods and while I don’t know his full particulars I think he accompanied Coy Cook and the Senators and some other groups as well. In recent years he played Branson until his untimely death. Everett was one of the good guys and we’ll miss him.

By the way, I just found out that the blame for the headline should go to the Abilene newspaper, not the guy who wrote the article.

I was reading our state Baptist newspaper (NC) just now, when a more generous headline caught my eye.

“Gospel music’s best selling artist Gaither going strong.”

It’s actually the same article, with four additional paragraphs at the end. The same writer is credited.
