<a href="spotify:artist:3S3Hz9hzApjxZqf0ySMrIt">Delois</a>, Billie, and Rodessa Barrett began singing in the Chicago-based Morning Star Baptist Church in the 1940s as children. Under the direction of their aunt, Mattie Dacus, they were originally known as the Barrett and Hudson Singers before becoming the Barrett Sisters. <a href="spotify:artist:3S3Hz9hzApjxZqf0ySMrIt">Delois</a> was recruited for <a href="spotify:artist:0PWSI4rGzwveCAaKmiKG1m">the Roberta Martin Singers</a> when she was a senior at Englewood High. After graduation, she joined Martin's group full-time and remained a member for 18 years. Rodessa Barrett became the choral director of Galilee Baptist Church, and Billie Barrett became a church soloist after taking voice lessons at the American Music Conservatory. They formed the Barrett Sisters in 1962 and recorded their debut album, Jesus Loves Me, for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Savoy%22">Savoy</a> in 1963. The group continued to perform and record until the death of Delois Barrett on August 2, 2011, the year they released their final album, He's So Wonderful. Billie Barrett died on February 28, 2020, and the last of the three sisters, Rodessa Barrett, passed on December 16, 2024. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
