Timothy McNealy

Timothy (born in Bonham in November 1945, died 4th December 2017). His father was a blind minister and together with his wife they forbade their boy from listening to R&B on the radio. They let him play piano, but with strict instructions: Only for God.
He wound up in Dallas in 1966, and was hired by Bobby Patterson at the Blackout club, on Lovers Lane near what's now the Dallas North Tollway. He was an instrumental version of Bobby Patterson's Mustangs during the 1960s, singing backup and playing keyboard on regional hits. He also played trombone for Jon & Robin on ABNAK.
McNealy played with the Mustangs until 1969, then went his own way to record singles. The label SHAWN is named after his oldest son. Timothy Mcnealy also known locally as Dr Mack continued to produce music up until his death. After his years of Funk and Soul production he returned where it all started, with Gospel. He produced a number of CDs out of his home studio. In the early 2000s, he joined the Fabulous Breadwinners, a funk band from Denton to perform at a one-off show along with some local DJs and collectors who had made contact with him.
