Description:
The soulful, powerful sound of gospel is instantly recognizable and a great source of inspiration and comfort to many. Gospel music’s origins are rooted in the tragedy of African-American slavery and over the course of the last century it has evolved into a successful, thriving scene. The Rough Guide To Gospel explores this popular genre of music, tracing the roots of the genre from its heyday of gospel’s legendary singers to the contemporary sound of today.
