Albertina Walker f/James Cleveland - Please Be Patient With Me I love this song. It just came up in my iTunes and I can't stop bobbing my head. For an early "modern-day" gospel song, you hear elements of funk, hip-hop, soul and jazz. James Cleveland was a genius. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

It's old, but it's considered a song that influenced the "modern day" gospel. It's funky as all get out. Listening to this, you see where Kirk Franklin, The Winans, etc. came from. James Cleveland was a real trailblazer. He was the first person to take r&b songs and turn them into gospel songs. He caught a lot of flack for remaking Gladys Knight's "Your The Best Thing" and making it "Jesus is The Best Thing". He also caught a lot of flack for working with Aretha Franklin on Amazing Grace. I recommend u read Aretha's autobiography. She has a couple of chapters that are all about the history of gospel music. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Walter and Edwin came along after James. James got popular in the 60s. Walter and Edwin didn't come along until the 70s. http://en.wikipedia.org/w..._Cleveland "Peace Be Still" was James' breakthrough song in 1962. [Edited 1/21/10 8:37am] **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
