"THE BLACKWOOD LEGACY"
The Blackwood Legacy is presented by Rick Price, a veteran of more than
30 years in Gospel music ministry. Rick first joined the Blackwood Brothers
in the late '70's, and is honored to have been a part of that awesome
ministry for much of his career. When Cecil Blackwood became unable to
travel due to the illness that would eventually take his life, he handed over
management of the Blackwood Brothers to Rick. Sadly, after Cecil's death,
James Blackwood and Cecil's widow, Francine, made the decision to retire
the Blackwood Brothers name. But Cecil's wish, which was shared by
Francine, was that the group and the music continue on. So, with
Francine's blessing, Rick and Chris Blackwood formed the Blackwood
Legacy in tribute to the legendary Blackwood Brothers.
To do justice to the original Blackwood Brothers, Rick has surrounded
himself with some of the greatest singers and musicians in Gospel Music
today. He is honored to carry on the great Blackwood Brothers heritage
with his own Blackwood Legacy, presenting their music with integrity and
pride.
Known as one of the best MC's in gospel music, Rick's sense of humor, love
for the ministry and the music, and his sensitivity to the leading of the Holy
Spirit is evident as he takes you from fond memories of yesterday into a
place of worship, renewal and recommitment to serving Christ
