Feb 9, 2024 · In fact, Gospel music has been the thread connecting Black music. The true roots of Black American gospel music lie in the American South of the 19th century. Old spirituals emerged when slaves would host informal gatherings and improvised folk songs that would echo biblical stories and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

From a musician’s perspective, Israel Houghton has some of the most interesting rhythms and instrumentation of any artist anywhere. I’m glad he’s one of ours. But even to the casual listener, you can’t help but move your feet and bob your head to this one.
This song knocked me out when I first heard it. I decided this was the gospel song I was finally going to try in my church. So we got the (predominantly white) worship team together, rehearsed it like crazy. Yep, it came out like a long-lost U2 song. Nothing like the original. Even though we couldn’t replicate the song’s majesty and power, I still ...
This is one of those songs that unexpectedly takes the world by storm. Nearly every worship band and major Christian artist has covered it by now, and it will continue its rise in 2023. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a farming town in Iowa or urban Los Angeles, or London, England or Lagos, Nigeria. You will worship like never before when you hear i...
You see, there’s just certain I can’t pull off when I lead worship. Like call and response. Walker performs this masterfully. He naturally calls out and leads the choir (and the onlookers in this video) with the spoken word. If I were to try this, it would sound more like Weird Al Yankovic calling out the next line of my latest polka. Props to Hez....
There’s a reason this guy’s named after the Promised Land. That’s exactly where he takes you with his high-energy vocals and ridiculously good guitar playing. This is one of my all-time favorite worship songs of any style. Now I only wish I could do it justice!
You know, there’s just something about a strong worship leader. Anyone can be a song leader, but it takes a special anointing to lead people in worship. Jonathan Nelson brings worship leading to the next level with this song. He all but takes the congregation by the hand into the Lord’s presence. No matter what your background, you can learn someth...
I still remember hearing this song on secular radio when it first came out. It’s a purely pop song and worship song at the same time. I’m not sure how Mary Mary did that, but I’d sure like to do that someday.
Hammond brings serious encouragement to the believer with “No Weapon.” I love it when a worship leader teaches and lifts up a congregation. God wants every worship leader to lead his people as skillfully as Hammond does here.
One thing that most predominantly white churches haven’t figured out yet is how to build and use a choir. In this tune, JJ Hairston uses his choir to bring a new power through call and response. Truly inspiring!
There’s nothing better than listening to strong women lead in worship. Leonard and Sheard absolutely wreck you with this powerhouse tune.
As a recognizable style unto itself, black gospel music largely ceased to develop around the 1970s; progressing racial attitudes had helped black popular music reach wider audiences (and become more lucrative) than ever before, and tastes had turned towards the earthy hedonism of funk and the highly arranged, sophisticated Philly soul sound.

- Oil & Water – Travis Greene ft. Anthony Hamilton. Another great song from one of my favorite gospel groups; I love how this song builds into a huge anthem with just the right amount of edge added by Hamilton.
- Trouble of The World – Mahalia Jackson. This moving spiritual was recorded at Columbia studios in 1952 by 'The Queen of Gospel' herself; if you like Gospel then Mahalia was the original artist you would hear so her influence shines through in this song.
- Oh Lord How Excellent Is Thy Name – Rev. Cleophus Robinson. This sprightly gospel tune is performed by the legendary Gospel Trumpet of Brother Cleophus Robinson, an artist who was greatly responsible for the expansion of gospel music beyond its traditional roots and into mainstream America where it remains today.
- Where can I Surrender - The Oak Ridge Boys. This beautiful rendition of the gospel hymn is performed by The Oak Ridge Boys. You should check out all their work as they are a fantastic traditional country and gospel quartet.
