MYFOXNY.COM - Gospel singer the Rev. Timothy Wright died early Thursday at the Bronx Veterans Hospital. He was critically injured in a crash in Pennsylvania that killed his wife and a wrong-way driver who hit their vehicle.


Wright, 61, was injured along with his 14-year-old grandson, D.J. Wright, and both were taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville after the crash. D.J. Wright later died.


Betty Wright, 58, of Roosevelt, N.Y., died in the three-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 in Greene Township.


The driver of the wrong-way car, John Pick, 44, of Lewisburg, also died. A passenger in a third vehicle was also injured in the crash.


Timothy Wright released more than a dozen gospel recordings, and his latest album, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," came out in 2007.


He was the pastor at Grace Tabernacle Christian Center in New York City. The Wrights were returning from a gospel conference in Detroit.


In 1994, his record "Come Thou Almighty King," with the New York Fellowship Mass Choir, made the Billboard Top 20 charts for gospel albums and was nominated for a Grammy for best traditional soul gospel album.
He got another nomination in that category in 1999 for "Been There Done That," recorded with the B/J Mass Choir and featuring Myrna Summers.
"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" features the New York Fellowship Mass Choir. The title track, written by Wright and his wife and recorded live at a Church of God in Christ convocation, expresses the plight of a woman displaced during Hurricane Katrina: She encourages herself and others by calling the name of Jesus. Among the other songs on the album was "You Must Come In At the Door."


He began writing songs for such fellow musicians as Mattie Moss Clark and the Rev. Isaac Douglas, according to Carpenter's book, and in 1976 formed the Timothy Wright Concert Choir. Among the choir's albums were "Who's on the Lord's Side?" and "Do You Know the Light?"

I remember reading that they were trying to raise a half of a million dollars to cover Rev. Wright's medical bills last year. I knew that he would not live long after they told him that his wife and grandson didn't make it. He is where he wants to be-with the Lord and his wife and grandson. I love to hear "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" and "For the Rest of My Life. I know the saints are going to send him home real proper-COGIC style. RIP Rev. Wright
