Gospel Yolanda Adams ~ Victory / Tonight Show performance Andraé Crouch ~ My Tribute The Inspirations ~ I'm Bound For that City King James Version ~ I'll Still Love You You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I used to listen to Andre Crouch. He was pretty popular in the 80s... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Love me some Clark Sisters, but I can listen to Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole live all day. While I love her for her obvious devotion and annointing, her technical prowess makes me fall in love with her talent every time she opens her mouth. A musician like her mother the late Dr. Mattie Moss-Clark and her sister (The Queen of Hammond -3, Twinkie Clark), Dorinda's jazz scatting within the gospel realm is a thing of beauty, and that signature rasp of hers brings me great joy. "Heaven: Looking to Get There"
"Miracle"
I'm also quite fond of Dorinda's niece, Kierra Sheard, daughter of Dorinda's baby sister Karen-Clark Sheard. I remember" Kiki" being a little girl singing with her mom and singing in Dorinda's concert choirs as she was growing up. She has blossomed into quite the gospel powerhouse vocalist- she did an awesome job holding it down at the Essence Festival tribute to the Clark Sisters in 2016, I dare say she sang her face off in Jesus' name

I love the Winans. Growing up, I never used to like gospel music (or church music as I used to call it) because the songs they sang in the church used to be so sad and depressing to me. All that changed when I heard the Winans, and I've loved them ever since. | |

looby said: I love the Winans. Growing up, I never used to like gospel music (or church music as I used to call it) because the songs they sang in the church used to be so sad and depressing to me. All that changed when I heard the Winans, and I've loved them ever since. The irony that you found church music sad is in the fact that the word "gospel" actually means "good news"  But yes, I didn't learn until much later as an adult on my spiritual walk in Christianity that historically, there are different sub-genres/classifications within gospel music even though all are biblically based...and over time we have sort of become a bit happier, you could say...although there is still a lot of life in those old lamentation and deliverance-heavy compositions When it's all said and done though, the music is intended to touch and resonate with the listener, and be used almost for application to your life, so I TOTALLY get being a kid, listening to sonething like "Going Up Yonder", and being like, "...ummm, why am I happily singing about dying now? I'm like, 12"...  | |

Agreed. All I heard growing up were out-of-tune dirges or marching-to-war songs. Didn't sound good to me at all... But when I became an adult and heard singers like the Winans, I appreciated the uplifting spiritual TUNEFUL music that I heard. Nothing like what I was raised on.

I love anything by the Hawkins family, particularly Tramaine. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Their latest album "The Return" is really strong. I also love Twinkie's album "Ye Shall Receive Power" from '81. | |
