HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "birthplace" is not recognized
William Ray "Willie" Norwood Sr. (born November 30, 1955) is an AmericanGospelsinger and has been involved in singing since early childhood. His father and mother sang in the church choir. He is the father and voice coach of R&B singers Brandy and Ray J.
Career
1975–1992: Early Career
Willie Norwood's career in the music industry began at Jackson State University on a band scholarship during the 1970s where he joined a soul music group named "The Composers", becoming their lead vocalist and trumpeter. The group found a modicum of success playing the Mississippi club scene and began opening up for acts such as Rufus and Chaka Khan and Lou Rawls. Norwood soon moved to Hollywood with the group where they attracted a loyal following.
The fast paced-Hollywood scene caused Norwood to stray from his religious upbringing, causing him and his wife, Sonja Bates-Norwood, to move back to McComb, Mississippi, in the late '70s to begin a family as well as to regain focus. Eventually, California would once again play an important role musically for Willie Norwood and family. He began working with local community choirs in Los Angeles while beginning post-graduate work at California State University. Norwood's work with the choirs afforded a young Brandy and Ray J the opportunity enhance their blooming musical interest.

Here’s Why Brandy Hid Her Daughter For Years
Here’s Why Brandy Hid Her Daughter For Years
I know a lot of y’all are still not aware that Brandy has an entire adult daughter called Sy’Rai, and allegedly, the reason why thousands of people don’t even know about her has a lot to do with her weight.
Well, her previous weight because Sy’Rai went through one hell of a transformation.
But was Brandy embarrassed of her daughter’s weight and kept her out of the spotlight because of it?
