Sadness saturated the gospel community last evening (March 13), following the Pilgrim Jubilees’ announcement that Clay Graham, the group’s lead singer, had passed. GMF extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and fans of the quartet legend, as well as to elder brother Cleve and the Jubes.
