This article is clearly not NPOV. For instance, take the following:

World-class composer, pianist and arranger, Richard Smallwood has clearly and solidly changed the face of Gospel music.

I have added the {{NPOV}} tag to it till this is fixed. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 08:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced information

Can someone confirm the following?

Richard Smallwood's composition "The Resurrection" from The Richard Smallwood Singers' debut album is based on Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vocalise, Op. 34 No. 14.

Thanks. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 09:08, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmm.....Richard is a friend of mine, and this information comes DIRECTLY from him! It would probably help you out if you listened to both pieces of music. Now I see why you hate trivia sections. You're not very good at trivia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianoplaya1983 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Smallwood deserves better - there must be an editor that can help this not read like it was cut and pasted from a album cover. Gessoart (talk) 09:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:51, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
