Title
To honor and recognize Mr. Thommy Adams' many contributions to the Columbus community.
Body
WHEREAS, Mr. Thommy Adams, Director, Composer, and Clinician, has been involved with gospel music for over thirty-five years; and
WHEREAS, the name "Thommy Adams" has been associated with many choral groups throughout Central Ohio and the United States. His name speaks of stellar production, anointed delivery and quality extraordinaire; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Thommy Adams wrote the title song for The End Time Revival Evangelistic Crusade Choir, "Everybody Don't Know Who Jesus Is", which entered the Billboard Gospel Chart at number twenty-three in November 1986; and
WHEREAS, the recording was also chosen as Album of the Year at Columbus's First Gospel Music Excellence Awards. In 1987 the song was nominated for a Dove Award in the Songwriter of the Year category; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Thommy Adams currently serves as Director of Adult and Mass Choirs for the New Covenant Believers Church. The absence of his mellow, tenor voice, and superlative camaraderie among all people of ethnic, socio-economic, and religious cultures will be missed; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
That this Council does hereby recognize and honor the outstanding leadership Mr. Thommy Adams for his service to his church and the many contributions he has made to the Columbus community and does wish him well as he takes his talents with him to his promising future in Los Angeles.
