I'm a sucker for songs with a gospel feel and gospel choirs, so here are some of my picks. What are some of yours?

Maria's cover of Jesus What A Wonderful child actually is a gospel song, lyrics taken straight from passages of the Bible

That said..by gospel influenced I'm guessing we're taking stuff with choirs, inspirational lyrics that talk about love, humanity, faith, ect? Mmmm--- let's see

Mike (Jackson) always would have one on any of his albums, but I'm having a brain fart...it's too early in the morning
