GREAT gospel or inspirational songs (for non-church folks) I know it's hard to believe but no, I don't go to church on a regular basis In fact, I rarely go but lately I've been gathering songs that are not only inspirational but downright gospel See, just the name of that emoticon is blasphemous
I only have a few but I'm curious about what else is out there. These stick out in my mind... We Fall Down - Donnie McClurkin Everything - Tye Tribbett & GA I keep them all on my "Inspired" playlist so some songs have a very spiritual feel... Pass Me Over - Anthony Hamilton The Word/And God Created Woman - Princey Higher - D'Angelo ... and some are inspired in other ways - via delivery or message or just the way they make me feel... I Found My Everything/One/Good Woman Down - Mary J. Blige Rise/NYCG - Martin Luther Precious/Daredevil, Baby - Van Hunt Shadows - TTD Tomorrow - Tevin Cambell Mountains/Eye No/Sweet Baby - Princey True Love - Al Green So Have I For You - Nikka Costa There For You - Damien Marley Cleva/Orange Moon - Erykah Badu I Keep/Still Here - Jill Scott So High/Ordinary People - John Legend Vienna - Billy Joel Special - Janet Jackson Sweet Baby - Macy Gray I need to expand my tracklist, so here's the question: what inspirational songs (gospel particularly) do you listen to? .

I never go to church. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I could be here all day answering this one....
Here's a very abbreviated list... Inspirational; The One. Elton John One of Us, C. Crow I Wanna Know What Love Is, Foreigner Hero, M. Carey Bridge Over Troubled Water, Jermaine Jackson The World Is A Ghetto, WAR Choice of Colors, Curtis Mayfield Innervisions, Stevie Wonder Redemption Song, Bob Marley Pearls, Sade Princey gets his own list... The Love We Make Anna Stesia Purple Rain Beautiful Strange Power Fanstastic Get On The Boat Free Elephants and Flowers Willing and Able Gold I Would Die 4 U One Song Gospel Anything by James Cleveland, especially Peace Be Still Anything by the Staples Singers, especially Will Circle Be Unbroken Anything by Mahalia Jackson, especially I Couldn't Keep It To Myself and His Eye Is On The Sparrow. 2 must have gospel albums... If You Believe, by Brook Benton is the only gospel album he ever recorded. This man's exquisite voice will bring you to your knees. Amen, by the Wings Over Jordan Choir is sung completely a capella. Powerful! These last two are quite rare, but could probably be found at a store specializing in vinyl. Well worth the time and trouble to find. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Yolanda Adams is definitely religiously full of beautiful gospel. I absolutely love her music, her music has spoken/inspired me on numerous occasions.
~Open My Heart ~Never Give Up ~I Gotta Believe ~I'm Thankful (This whole album is renewing for me) I am listening now... Howard Hewett another one. ~Call His Name His album 'The Journey Live From The Heart' is truly fantastic. ~Mercy ~Joy ~The Journey ... But the songs that sing with a similar feel that come to mind... Mariah Carey~ Fly Like Bird Chante Moore~This Moment is Mine Peebles (remember Pebbles?)~ Long Way To Travel (continues to be an all time favorite, since 1995) Sarah McLachlan (omg) where do I start. ~Lost (this one...) ~Witness ~Angel ~Full Of Grace (I can be here all day...) Prince... well I feel if you are here... it is a natural given. ... I higly function on a Spiritual sense, not a precise religious sense. ***Music such as this... is truly what talked to me when I needed some sense in my life. When I (personally) couldn't find savior anywhere else. [Edited 7/16/06 12:52pm] | |

Good list dustygirl! I like all these artists and their songs. Jars of Clay's version of "I'll Fly Away" makes me sad though.

I thought this thread would be such a dud :
You guys are awesome, thanks for all the suggestions I went through & added a bunch that I hadn't thought about before - it's funny once you get all these playlists going how hard it can be to maintain them all I think I just gotta focus on one at a time Alright, I have musics to buy | |
