Mr. Sweatt spent a lifetime performing and spreading the gospel through songs. He along with his wife and four children made up the group, "The Singing Sweatt Family". They sang locally and across the country to wherever God would lead them.

His experience in music included a number of years performing with Jim Nesbitt and Slim Mimms on a local television station. He also had the pleasure of broadcasting over a local gospel radio program known as "The Gaston Sealey Show". God blessed Mr. Sweatt with the ability and talent to play any instrument that had strings. There was nothing better to him than getting together with his family and friends "pickin" and singing. He still played and sang for the Lord right up to the time his health started to decline. He will be missed by a vast number of people and his legacy will always be carried on through his children, grandchildren and other generations to come.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his sisters, Blanche Wilkes, Princelle Haire and Mabel Bordeaux; his brothers, JR Sweatt, Wallie Sweatt and Ravenell Sweatt.
