For future listening to recordings displaying the richness of spirituals, I recommend:
Spirituals In Concert featuring Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman
For future listening to recordings sharing how gospel music evolved from spirituals, I recommend:
CBS News “Got To Tell It” A Tribute to Mahalia Jackson- the gospel singer Martin Luther King asked
to sing at his funeral. Any of the documentaries of Mahalia Jackson,” Queen of Gospel Music in
America” will give you insights as to what is expected of gospel pianists or organists.
Current gospel styles can be viewed on church services and concerts filmed on YouTube.
