Bill Dykes (born Howard William Dykes in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1946) is an American gospel music singer.
The son of a Baptist preacher, Dykes became his father's music director at age 12 because there was no one else to serve and he was willing to do it. Since then he has had the privilege of being mentored musically by several of the greatest musicians in gospel music, and has sung throughout all of North America and in other countries, in literally thousands of churches.

Famous quotes containing the word bill:
“Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case. Judge Harrington declared that the owner’s claim to the slave was defective. The owner indignantly demanded to know what was lacking in his legally sound claim. The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”
