<p> DIED. Thomas A. Dorsey, 93, songwriter, singer and pianist;
in Chicago. Known as the father of gospel music, he brought a
secular blues beat into the church. Among his songs were Peace
in the Valley (which Elvis Presley covered), If You See My
Saviour and Take My Hand, Precious Lord. His singing and sage
commentary were high points in the acclaimed 1982 gospel
documentary, Say Amen, Somebody.
