Thomas Britt        

Thomas is the founder of "Truly Blessed".
In 2001 I was shopping with my wife Nell at the mall in Rock Hill, S. C. and the Lord lead me window shopping. There it was, on a table already made. It was on a mirrored licensed plate with Bright Red Letters "Truly Blessed", I knew that was to be the new name of the group.
In 1999 I had formed a group out of our Church called the "Wylies" along with my daughter Cynthia and two good friends, Bob Timmons and Shelly Forbes. The group was formed and sang first at our Home Church Lake Wylie Baptist on February 14, 1999.

After a month my wife Nell joined the group making it a five member group. We sang together until 2000 before changing any members . Bob and Shelly left the group and Brother Jerry Cox from Lake City, Tenn. became our new bass singer. Jerry was with "The Wylies" until the spring of 2001. He had to leave because of working conditions, not being able to make all the dates. At this time we decided to become an all family Trio. We will have been together 10 years this February 14, 2009.
