Dr. Rodney Frazier, pastor of Restoration Church, dies at 62
In 1995, Frazier earned a Grammy nomination for Gospel Music Producer and received the Gospel Music Workshop of America Gospel Album of the Year award for co-producing fellow Texan Kirk Franklin’s multi-platinum debut album, Why We Sing.Radio executive and personality Drew Dawson, formerly of Dallas KHVN Radio and Georgia Public Radio expressed the sentiments of many.
Frazier’s grandmother Lola Frazier, a trained pianist, gave Frazier, as a child, private piano lessons, and those numerous hours of instruction on the piano, as well as other instruments, produced dividends, leading Frazier to many stages, mainly in the church, but also in the secular world of music.
Still keeping his feet firmly planted in his hometown, he was the keyboardist for the local group, The MAC Band, which included Ray Flippin, Mark Harper, Slye Fuller, and The McCampbell Brothers . The MAC Band is best remembered for its 1988 hit Roses Are Red, which reached No. 11 on the R&B Chart and Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
Anitra Felicia Frazier described her husband as a devoted father of three with such an amazing sense of humor that he would make “people laugh so hard that their sides hurt.”
