Remembering Paul Kwami, director of Fisk Jubilee Singers

• The Fisk Jubilee Singers earned a Grammy last year for Best Roots Gospel Album, a crowning achievement for Kwami's unrivaled career.

What they're saying: "His passing leaves a gaping hole in our souls as well as in our community and in our world," the university said in a statement announcing Kwami's death.

In honor of Kwami's legacy, our Music Monday playlist features a slate of songs by the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

Listen to Kwami's Grammy-winning album "Celebrating Fisk! (The 150th Anniversary Album)."
