About Frank Stewart

Their calypso-style music paved the way for funkier forms of gospel when British church music still consisted largely of ancient hymns. The Singing Stewarts are no longer playing together. Stewart was also a writer for the Caribbean Times newspaper.
Frank Stewart died on Monday 2 April 2012 in hospital with family members by his side.
