Jazz Musician. A native of Norfolk, Virginia, he became interested in music at a young age, mainly while attending the Rising Sun Baptist Church, where his father was the pastor. By the age of 9 he was serving as the church's organist. He then began studying classical music, which led him to jazz. In 1965, he moved to Washington, D.C., and began playing organ at the Hughes Memorial United Methodist Church, which eventually led to appearances in local nightclubs and other venues. He soon went onto lead his own group, the "Eternal Equinox" and work with celebrated jazz musicians such as George Benson, Davey Yarborough, Eva Cassidy, Jimmy McPhail, and Chuck Brown's "Soul Searchers". He was also the music director for the television series, "Spread A Little Sunshine", and several Broadway productions. He recorded an estimated 25 albums, and founded the Concept Record Label. Felton's recordings include, "Spreadin' Fever", "Be-Bop Boogie", "St. Louis Blues", "Do Nothing 'Til You Here From Me", "I've Got It Bad", "Solace", "Never Can Say Good-bye", "Family And Friends", "Love's Losers", "Ode To New York", and "A Man For All Reasons." He also recorded such Christmas favorites as, "O Holy Night", "A Child Is Born", and "Oh Come, Oh Come Emanuel." A versatile musician, he could play anything from Brandenburg Concertos to Fleetwood Mac on his Hammond B-3 organ and piano. On February 13, 2007, Felton died from a heart attack, at the age of 60.
