No. Thomas A. Dorsey lived from 1899 to 1999 and wrote a lot of Gospel hymns including Peace in the Valley, Precious Lord Take My Hand, and If You See My Savior.
Tommy Dorsey was a famous swing musician and big-band leader who was popular from the the mid-1930s to the early 1950s.
I actually did a thesis on Thomas A. Dorsey. There's a lot of information about him in a documentary called, "Say Amen, Somebody: The Rise of the Gospel Blues." You can get it on YouTube. It's awesome.
