Roberta Martin

Roberta Evelyn Martin (February 12, 1907 – January 18, 1969) was an American gospel composer, singer, pianist, arranger and choral organizer, helped launch the careers of many other gospel artists through her group, The Roberta Martin Singers.〔Young Alan. ''Woke Me Up This Morning: Black Gospel Singers and the Gospel Life'', University Press of Mississippi (1997), page xiv - ISBN 0-87805-944-X〕
==Early years==

Born in Helena, Arkansas on February 12, 1907, Martin moved to Chicago with her family in 1917, where she studied piano. Although a high school teacher inspired her to dream of becoming a concert pianist, her future course was changed after accompanying the Young People's Choir at Ebenezer Baptist Church. She came into contact with Thomas A. Dorsey, known as the Father of Gospel Music, through her work as the pianist for the youth choir. With Dorsey's help, she and Theodore Frye organized the Martin-Frye Quartet, a youth group consisting of Eugene Smith, Norsalus McKissick, Robert Anderson, James Lawrence, Willie Webb and Romance Watson, in 1933. Martin renamed the group the Roberta Martin Singers in 1936 and added Bessie Folk, Myrtle Scott and Delois Barrett Campbell to the group in the 1940s. The group set the standard for the gospel choir and mixed group, and had an extremely successful recording career, featuring such hits as "Only A Look," and "Grace."〔Wimbush, Vincent L. ''African Americans and the Bible: Sacred Texts and Social Structures'', Continuum International Publishing Group (2001), page 471 - ISBN 0-8264-1376-5〕 Most of these songs were published by Roberta Martin Studio of Music, a publishing house in Chicago that she incorporated in 1939, and would eventually publish outstanding compositions by gospel artists ranging from Professor Alex Bradford to James Cleveland. Her first composition, "Try Jesus, He Satisfies," was an immediate hit in 1943.〔Darden, Bob. ''People Get Ready!: A New History of Black Gospel Music'', Continuum International Publishing Group (2004), page 190 - ISBN 0-8264-1436-2〕 She was also the choir director of the Pisgah Baptist Church in Chicago for many years.
