(Thomas Dorsey, circa 1930) Another simple instrumentation with an opening piano and guitar that allows the lyrics and melody is emphasized. Dorsey is considered to be the “Father of Gospel Music” who had a hand in creating over 1,000 gospel songs.
(Golden Gate Quartet, 1941) The Golden Gate quartet found fame in arrangements of spirituals such as this with the transitional jubilee sound of the 1940s. I personally enjoyed the tempo change that occurs about two minutes into the sound from a more traditional to the quartet style the group is known for, then ending just as it began.
(James Cleveland, 1959) This was the first era of recording where I found the presence of a choir–a mainstay in gospel music. In all, this was the first era that sounded familiar and nostalgic to me– especially the call-and-response of “Holy Ghost” complete with music reminiscent of a praise break at the end. Cleveland was very large in the gospel ...

In “You Brought the Sunshine”, the family provides angelic harmonies riva...
Fred Hammond, 1996 No one said the weapon would not form, but will it prosper? No Weapon is not only my favorite song from the 1990s–but my favorite gospel song in whole as it derives from my favorite Scripture Isaiah 41: 10 which states “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue which rises against thee in judgment shall be cond...
Kirk Franklin, 2002 At the bare minimum, you bopped your head to this. And if you’re me, it is the hypest part of my praise break. As one knows The Essential Kirk Franklinbackwards and forwards, He Lives (Awesome God) supersedes every other Kirk Franklin song to me. It was my earliest exposure to gospel music outside of the church & I refused to al...
Tye Tribbett, 2013 I would call this a nostalgic pick as I associate this song with my church youth group days. Tribbett’s energy is contagious throughout a lot of his music. Additionally, I love the musical arrangements with the rock elements added to the end of the song.
PJ Morton, 2020 Here’s one from the home team!
