Biography
Lee Roy Abernathy (1913–1993) was a Southern gospel musician, songwriter, and performer. He created the first gospel sheet music in 1943, which he was able to send out by mail. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, he "invented a music typesetting system, pioneered the use of public address systems in gospel concerts, and wrote the first singing commercials."
