Gospel Music Hall of Fame
-- inducted 1998
 Beginning
his musical career in his father's church, Andrae Crouch began
playing the piano and writing music at the age of nine with no formal
musical training. By the early Sixties, he had formed his own group,
"Andrae Crouch and the Disciples," establishing a reputation
for electrifying live performances that spanned the globe.
Consistently selling out concerts throughout Europe, Africa, the Far East and the
Americas, his music has been translated into twenty-one languages. With
a truly international following, Andrae gives new meaning to the term
"world class artist." It's a reputation matched in writing and
recording arenas as well. With multiple Grammy awards and an Academy
Award nomination, Andrae's brilliant talent extends from such timeless
gospel classics as "My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)" and
"The Blood Will Never Lose its Power," to film score
contributions for "The Lion King," "Free Willy" and others.
Along the way he has collaborated closely with artists ranging from Elvis
Presley to Michael Jackson; Quincy Jones to Madonna and beyond. Andrae
Crouch has recorded fourteen albums of his own, selling in multi-platinum
realms and establishing himself as an artist whose music knows no boundaries.
"Andrae's music has had by far the most impact on
me and my family," says CeCe Winans, "and that impact has
probably grown over the years because his music is still the greatest."
Andrae Crouch is without question one of the
most vital and influential artists in contemporary music today. His
artistry has touched, and changed, millions of lives around the world.
An international music star of legendary stature, his songs transcend
color, class and creed with a vibrant message of hope, faith and joyous celebration.
