Baby boomer musician and minister Leon Patillo has exceptionally inspiring music. Read this short bio sketch below from Wikipedia:

Leon Patillo (born January 1, 1947) is an American CCM musician.

Patillo’s first musical endeavor was with the group Creation, later called Leon’s Creation. Formed in the late 1960s, Creation was a funk group similar in style and composition to Sly & the Family Stone; they were signed to Atlantic Records. Aside from Creation, Patillo worked at times with Funkadelic and Martha & the Vandellas. In 1973, Patillo joined Santana, appearing on the albums Borboletta and Festival. He remained with Santana until 1981, launching a solo career on Word Records. He released a string of successful albums on the CCM market in the 1980s, and had his own television show on TBN called Leon and Friends.

Patillo founded his own record label, Positive Pop, in the 1990s, and his most recent releases have been on this imprint. Patillo also leads his own ministry.
