 And Tremaine's singing on Goin' Up Yonder is wonderful.Tramaine Hawkins' Goin' Up Yonder is one of the greatest gospel recordings ever. And you cannot go wrong with Mahalia Jackson. She's considered the best for good reason. Her voice is moving, and I love Trouble of the World (the funeral scene in Imitation of Life where she sings it is so sad  )! There's a 2-disc set of her recordings through Columbia/Legacy, Gospels, Spirituals & Hymns, that is a good starting place.
 I can NOT listen to Mahailia without crying. I have a Best of CD and I always have to get the tissues. . . | |

Adisa said: There've been some good ones mentioned already and some that I think suck. But, lord have mercy, no one has mentioned Richard Smallwood!!
 He's the Thomas Dorsey of this generation. Every Sunday millions of churches are singing his songs "Total Praise", "I Love The Lord", "Jesus, You're The Center Of My Joy", "Psalm 8", "I Will Sing Praises", "My Everything (Praise Waiteth)", etc. To his peers in the game he's the "Mozart of Gospel" because of his haunting harmonies and his skills at the piano.
My wife and I had the pleasure of performing with him two years ago. He's so cool...sat there for like two hours singing approx. 2,000 autographs at the end of the show. Check him out!  Also excellent orchestral arrangements--I play violin on his Live in D.C. album (I also play on Donnie McClurkin's Live in London, which features We Fall Down) | |

Lookin' just like her auntie!!! she sang at my church a couple of times. At first I thought she was overrated, but she showed out when she came and sang with her aunts one time. I knew then, that she was the truth. PS. How about B98.5 can't go 25 minutes w/o playing "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me.

Yolanda Adams...even Prince was a big fan of "Open My Heart" and Yes, Fred Hammond! [This message was edited Sat Aug 7 3:31:35 2004 by paligap] While everyone else was bumping Open My Heart, I was bumping In The Midst Of It All. The end of that song makes me want to jump up and down. | |

Even though I should be into new age (by me being so young), I'm basically into old school artists/ basically groups. Don't get me wrong, not all of today's contemporary gospel is bogus, though. Check out Darius Brooks. His choir's pretty cool. Donnie McClurkin is really good, too.
But I'm surprised no one has mentioned Albertina Walker and Dorothy Norwood..... 
Besides them, I'm really into Evelyn Turrentine-Agee and the Warriors The Pilgrim Jubilees The Jackson Southernaires The Williams Brothers Frank Williams Carlton Pearson (Live at Azusa 1 & 2) The Mighty Clouds of Joy and my all time favorite: The Canton Spirituals
you should check out some of their stuff..... from the album, Live in Memphis: Mississippi Poor Boy Heavenly Choir Jeremiah I'm In Your Care and more..... from Live in Memphis 2: Send Me (I'll Go) Searching It's Gonna Rain (C'mon, children) Depending On You Holy Ghost Praise and more..... So check 'em out! They did WHAT??!....
