Wayman Tisdale's gospel music legacy

Wayman Tisdale, who died today at age 44, left behind a music legacy in addition to a sports one. Long after his basketball career, Wayman Tisdale put aside his days in the NBA and made room for his talent as a jazz bassist.

The son of a baptist minister, Tisdale often included inspiration gospel music, some of which were collaborations, including "Grateful" with Marvin Sapp, which is on Tisdale's Rebound project. He also worked with Jonathan Butler on "Sunday Best,'' which was on his 2006 CD Wayman Tisdale - Way Up. Tisdale also released 21 days, an all-gospel music project in 2003.

A Class Act.
I first became a fan when he was a Sacramento KING. To take one talent
to it's height and pursue another as
diligently, as proffesionally, and as Grand is to be commended. He was/is loved for a mariad of reasons
and that justs speaks of a job well done. He truly was a Good and Faithful servant.
