The Gospel Community has lost another jewel.
International television, movie and recording artist, and member of the Bobby Jones and New Life Nashville Super Choir, Emily Harris died on Thursday Morning, December 22, 2011 in her hometown of Nashville, TN.
After more than thirty one years of working in the music industry, our trusted sources tell us that Ms. Harris died as a result of a blood clot while at home with her sister. She was pronounced dead at a local Nashville hospital.
Ms. Harris garnered most of her major notoriety and exposure from BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel. She also recorded several shows with Dr. Bobby Jones recently that are currently being shown on BET and Impact TV.
Dr. Bobby Jones says, “There was none like her in many ways and she will be surely missed with her brilliant personality and her wonderful voice. Her contribution to the Gospel Music Industry will be missed by the world.”
