<i> From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports</i>
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Sandi Patti, the 1989 female gospel singer of the year, has given birth to her fourth child, a girl.
Erin Michelle was born Thursday morning, weighing 8 pounds, 11 ounces, a family spokesman said.
Patti has repeatedly won Gospel Music Assn. awards as one of the nation’s leading gospel singers. She plans on spending some time at home and has not scheduled a tour until the spring of 1991.
“It’s not that I’m just saying ‘no’ to everything this year. It’s just that I need to say ‘yes’ to my family right now,” Patti said.
