Chicago — Jessy Dixon, a singer and songwriter who introduced his energetic style of gospel music to wider audiences by serving as pop singer Paul Simon's opening act, died Monday. He was 73.
Miriam Dixon said her brother died Monday morning at his Chicago home. She said he had been sick but declined to provide additional details.
During a more than 50-year career, Dixon wrote songs for several popular singers, including jazz and rhythm and blues singer Randy Crawford. He later wrote songs performed by Cher, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole and Amy Grant.

It was during an appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1972 with his Jessy Dixon Singers that Dixon first came to Simon's attention. For the next eight years, Dixon toured with the pop icon,...

The late Amy Winehouse has collected a third week atop the UK album chart with her 2006 release Back To Black. The sophomore LP from the 27-year-old, who was found dead in her Camden home late last month, fought off competition from Adele's 21 and a new entry in the shape of Watch The Throne by Jay-z and Kanye West to keep the title once again. Her 2003 debut Frank, meanwhile, slips one spot on the rankings, while Adele's 19 record falls the same amount to complete the top five. Further down, jazz star Randy Crawford arrives at six with her Best Of compilation, Lady GaGa's mega-seller Born This Way drops three to nine and Jessie J climbs two from 12 to complete the Top 10 with Who You Are.
