Gospel Music Lyrics

 

Gospel Music Lyrics - Gospel Music has a great tradition especially among the coloured communities of the south. There is nothing more touching, elevating and more joyful than a community singing the gospel.

Gospel Greats 

Traditional Gospel - The Old and Beautiful Way

Gospel is undergoing constant change, but personally I favour the old traditional style, that was alive because of great voices and even greater feelings, that come across clear and powerful.

When Gospel Was Gospel

This is THE best rocking, shouting, one CD overview of Black Gospel from 1947 to 1963, produced by the man best qualified to do the job, historian and self-described gospel "monomaniac" Anthony Heilbut, who has devoted his life to the music. If you like the singing of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Whitney Houston or Lou Rawls, or `60's soul from Motown or Stax-Volt - you'll love this CD. This is where it all came from. It's all here, the sweet falsetto crooners (R.H. Harris, Claude Jeter), the church wrecking baritone shouters (Silas Steele), the earthshaking basso profundo's (the classically trained J. Robert Bradley, equally at home in German lieder or Gospel shouting), the choirs (St. Paul's Baptist Church), the quartets (Dixie Hummingbirds, Soul Stirrers, Swan Silvertones), the women (Mahalia Jackson, Clara Ward, Delores Barret Campbell), the men (Brother Joe May, Professor Alex Bradford), and one caught in between (Wilmer "Little Ax" Broadnax, a woman who lived her life as a man in the macho world of male gospel quartet as the much admired tenor lead for the Spirit of Memphis Quartet).

There is not a weak number on this album, and most are gloriously good. There are half a dozen rare "in the spirit" "LIVE" recordings, including the rarely recorded legend Queen C. Anderson, and an absolutely scorching Swan Silvertones medley that segues from a searing Dewey Young baritone shout to a soaring Claude Jeter falsetto tour de force. I think it is the best thing ever captured by this much recorded group. The packaging and liner notes are impeccable, including an authoritative 20 page history of the music and performers. -- Hank n Tennessee (Virginia, USA)

Gospel Music

4 big stars and one raspberry for this gorgeous new collection of America's greatest underappreciated musical treasure - the great field of Black Gospel from the 30's to the 60's - which was the birthplace of R&B, Soul and much of rock and pop through church rooted singers like Ray Charles, Sam Cooke (represented on this album singing an uncredited lead with the Soul Stirrers), Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, etc., etc.. If you like Ray Charles and Aretha, then you will LOVE this music, which is worthy of them at their best!

The music that Dorn and Friedlander have collected here is rarely less than stunning. Some of it would make my "all-time best" CD of great American music. Even if you know a little about Black Gospel, you will probably be as surprised and delighted as I was at some of the choices here. You may have known about the Golden Gates, but had you ever heard of the Trumpeters, who sing jubilee style well enough to be right at home on the same CD as the masters? You probably knew about the Swan Silvertones and the Dixie Hummingbirds, but, honest now - had you ever listened to the Consolers or the Violinaires before this album? Did you think that "Jagger and Richard" had written "Last Time", like it said on the old Rolling Stones album? Here you will find two very different takes on the original "Last Time" by the Five Blind Boys of Alabama and by the Staple Singers. This is a CD that you should probably not listen to for the first time while driving - too many "pull off the road" moments here. -- Hank n Tennessee (Virginia, USA)

Legendary Groups of Gospel

For those whose sole exposure to Gospel is via watching a rerun of The Blues Brothers, let me just tell ya! This is the real deal!! Soul-shaking, hip and elbow kiltering, knee-bending, speaking in tied tongue shimmy shamming breakthrough stuff!! Get down in the aisle and shout me a hallelujah!! Can I get a move!!

Jubilation, Vol. 1 (Black Gospel)

This hour-long CD kicks off with the queen of gospel Mahalia Jackson, and over the course of 18 tracks gives you a crash course in black gospel music. Most of these tracks were recorded in the 40s and 50s. The earliest recording is the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet's acapella "Golden Gate Gospel Train" from 1937. There are two Seventies recordings. Shirley Caesar's 1975 remake of the country hit "No Charge" is a touching song but hardly seems essential to a history of black gospel. Aretha Franklin and James Cleveland's 1972 performance of "Precious Memories," however, is an emotionally charged reading, and clocking in at over seven minutes is by far the longest track on the collection. "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins Singers proved that there was still a place in popular music for gospel even in 1969--it went to No. 4 and sold over a million copies.

But the real gems are the songs by early gospel artists like The Swan Silvertones, the Dixie Hummingbirds and The Pilgrim Travelers. Instrumentation is generally sparse, as it should be, to keep the emphasis on the vocals. Sound quality at times is marginal. "The Old Ship of Zion" and "Sit Down, Servant," for example, sound like they were mastered from scratchy 78's. But this is powerful music. It's difficult to imagine anyone listening to "Jesus Met the Woman at the Well" or "Do Lord Send Me" and not being spiritually moved. Black gospel music has a deep and rich history and this collection is in no way intended to be definitive, but it's a wonderful introduction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- Steve Vrana (Aurora, NE)

The Great Gospel Women

... this is the CD for you! Beautiful, beautiful material, with some of the most influential performances in the Gospel music canon selected. The liner notes alone are like a crash course in Gospel music history. You don't have to be a Christian to be moved by these songs of hope, struggle, and redemption. Though the second CD in this series (TGGW, Vol. II) edges out Vol. I as my favorite, Vol I has gotten me through some tough life-passages *and* enhanced my appreciation of a great American art form! The CD has been a mainstay in my stereo since I received it as a gift from a close friend of mine four years ago.... Whether you're a longtime Gospel fan or someone who has always wanted to explore the history of the musical form that gave birth to everything from Blues to Folk to Rock-n-Roll, you owe it to yourself to buy this CD! -- Dayle (Boston, MA)

Southern Gospel Music Lyrics 

Southern Gospel is also refered to as "quartet music" because of the original all male, tenor-lead-baritone-bass quartet composition of these groups. The early quartets were typically accompanied only by the organ or a guitar. Later, full bands were added and finally, pre-record accompaniments were also introduced.

A typical modern Southern Gospel group performs with pre-recorded tracks and with live music from a piano player and possibly a few other musicians.

Southern Gospel is an eclectic musical form and has deveoped itself, it's very much alive! Today there are groups singing black gospel-influenced songs, others specilize in the traditional hymns, most of them sing a capella songs. Other directions encompass country gospel, bluegrass, and the quite difficult to perform 'convention songs'.

The Gospel is by no means a great movie, but it has enough heart, simple decency, and fine music to make it appropriate viewing for families of all kinds. Director-screenwriter Rob Hardy's story revolves around David Taylor (played in his adult years by Boris Kodjoe), a devout youngster who, disillusioned by the death of his mother and mistrust of his pastor father (Clifton Powell), leaves the fold and goes on to become a hip-hop star. But when Bishop Taylor falls ill and David returns home to f...0 points

I recently discovered David Talbert's work and while he is no Tyler Perry, I think that's the point, all of us have different gifts. This was a well written play about standing up to the evil that has infiltrated our communities. The young Pastor represents the kind of men we need to step up and stand up. It was uplifting to see the transformation of Clifton Powell's character and how even those around him could be impacted by realzing that its not just a game but its real life and death.

001- Dreamgirls

Twenty-five years after its Broadway debut, the definitive girl-group musical, earning the most Oscar nods in 2007, finally makes its way to the screen with Bill Condon at the helm and a dream cast that includes Jamie Foxx and Beyoncé Knowles. A trio of women have high hopes for fame but end up paying a high price for it. Eddie Murphy plays James Early (in an Oscar-nominated role), and Jennifer Hudson took home the golden statuette for playing strong but slighted Effie.
002- Hairspray

Set in 1962, this colorful adaptation of the Tony-winning musical (spawned by director John Waters' cult classic of the same name) follows ambitious teen Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky), who tries to integrate a racially divided Baltimore one watusi at a time. The film's star-studded cast includes John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Allison Janney, James Marsden and Amanda Bynes.
003- Chicago

Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) hungers for stardom, but instead ends up in the slammer in 2002's Best Picture winner. Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a superstar whose fame flares -- then dims -- when she shoots her cheating husband and lands in jail. When Velma's lawyer, notorious Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), makes Roxie a tabloid sensation, he sets up a singing, dancing catfight between the two ambitious women. Based on the Broadway musical.
004- Sweeney Todd

Johnny Depp (in an Oscar-nominated role) reteams with director Tim Burton for this adaptation of the hit Broadway musical about the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Depp plays Sweeney Todd, a man who becomes a deranged murderer seeking revenge after being falsely imprisoned. To add to the macabre nature of his crimes, he enlists the help of his lover, Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who disposes of the victims by baking them into meat pies -- sought after by all of London.
005- The Phantom of the Opera: Special Edition

Andrew Lloyd Webber's stunning musical comes alive on-screen in this Joel Schumacher rendition. A talented recluse (Gerard Butler) disfigured in a tragic accident roams beneath the Paris Opera. Fueled with resentment, he terrorizes other musicians until he falls for the lovely Christine (Emmy Rossum), a formidable singer whom he takes under his wing, molding her so she can become the sensational soprano he envisions her to be.

The Four Knights 

The former Southland Jubilee Singers

They started out in 1943 as the Southland Jubilee Singers in Charlotte, North Carolina. The membership included Gene Alford (lead), John Wallace (second tenor and guitar), and Oscar Broadway (bass). By 1944 Oscar had brought in a baritone he knew, Clarence Dixon, and the lineup was set.

Their soft and breezy harmonies drew immediate attention and the group made its debut on NBC's affiliate WSOC-Charlotte radio. In six months they moved up to CBS's mega power station, the 50,000-watt WBT-Charlotte. The quartet replaced the Southern Sons on the station's "Carolina Hay Ride" show, a popular program that attracted one listener in particular, Cy Langois of Long-Worth Transcriptions. He signed the group to management.

His first move was for a name change to the Four Knights. He took them to New York and they started appearing on Arthur Godfrey's radio show in 1945. In 1946 they signed with Decca Records and in April of that year they released their first single, "Just in Case You Change Your Mind." After four singles featuring Gene's mellow lead, Oscar's broad bass, and usually incorporating Gene's whistling over the instrumental section, the group was moved to Decca's Coral affiliate for three more 78s through 1949.

In 1951 they brought their soft harmony to Capitol Records and began with "I Love the Sunshine of Your Smile" (#23). The group's biggest hit came in 1954 when "I Get So Lonely When I Think About You (Oh Baby Mine)" reached number two and ran for 24 weeks, even becoming a smash in England at number five, a tough thing for a black American group to do in 1954.

During the mid-'50s Nat King Cole ran into the group and liked their style; he asked Capitol to have the Knights back him on some recordings. Their first collaboration, in early 1955, was titled "A Blossom Fell." Though it didn't chart, Nat and the Knights tried agin in January 1956, and by September their "That's All There Is to That" was number 16 on the pop char and number 14 R&B, the first time the Knights had ever appeared on the black charts.

In 1960 Gene Alford died. Clarence left the act in 1963 and the Knights disbanded three years after his departure. John Wallace died in 1978. Dixon and Broadway moved to the suburbs of Los Angeles in retirement.
