For lovers of the real gospel sound Whether you love the music or know nothing about it, this is the best book ever written about the early road warriors who travelled the gospel highway. Mr. Heilbut infuses his deep knowledge of gospel singers with passion and love. That's what gives the book its unique flavor and ranks it far above any other work on the subject, scholastic or otherwise. A reviewer dismisses him as nothing more than a "fan", as if that's a bad thing. Let the "scholars" wallow in their dates and facts. This book is juicy and vibran. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Great book on the roots and history of black gospel music.
This book relays the complete history of gospel music, paying special attention to the relationship between gospel and other African American musical forms in America such as jazz and RandB. It discusses specific gospel music singers as well as the world of the gospel church itself. Includes black-and-white photos.
