The PennZone

PITTSBURGH - PennZone -- Pittsburgh, PA – Soulful and heartfelt singing comes naturally for Anthony Mitchell. From his musical roots in Memphis, Tennessee, and Buffalo, New York, as an adolescent, to his strong presence in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the message in the music is seasoned with resilience and faith. Lovingly called "Pops", Mitchell has been a musician and vocalist for over seventy years. He is the former lead singer of the 70's R and B group, "Samson and Delilah", and was blessed to work with Dionne Warwick, The O'Jay's, Stevie Wonder, The Isley Brothers, and other well-known musical artists.
In his 132-page memoir, Mitchell shares lessons about navigating the music industry, personal anecdotes from his life, tragedies that impacted him,  and how faith was the thread holding him together. He writes, "In my life's travels I have found it to be through the help of God, He has given me strength to do things that I never would have been able to accomplish if it weren't for His grace and mercy." The memoir leaves readers with the message, "You have to go through to get through."
