SGNScoops is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jerry Goff.

Dr. Charles Jerry Goff, born May 1st, 1935, was a noted preacher, teacher, singer, songwriter, and trumpet player. He was married to Jan Buckner-Goff, who previously sang with Wendy Bagwell and the Sunlighters.

Known as “Mr. Gospel Trumpet,” Dr. Goff formed the popular group Jerry and the Singing Goffs in 1971. In his career, he also performed with the LeFevres and The Thrasher Brothers.
