In the South, White Gospel is called Southern Gospel -to reassure any Dollywood attendees in doubt. Elvis was probably the last white southerner to willingly listen to Black Gospel. 90% of what we call show biz comes out of Black Gospel and Minstrel shows.

KhunLA Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 There was a Baptist church down aways from my hometown house, (told you I grew up on the other side of the tracks), and I would pass there sometimes on Sunday walking the dog ... ... and they were Rockin' inside. Way too cool. Atheist, but I still find Christion music inspirational, as long as not trying to covert me. 2 favorites: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaosLover Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Nice one Kan-guy. Khun La shows how far and long gospel spread. Beyonce is a gospel-derived act.

Popular Post Reginald Prewster Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Still the church is the richest state in the world.. An what to they do if you are on a low income and in need, demanding the church tax from your wages. What do they do if you are in need and wanna borrow a couple of quit? <deleted> ALL they do for you.. As I stepped out it was one of the best decisions I made in my life, and as the pastor asked why, I just told him Real belive shouldn't cost money, so why I have to be enforced to pay 8% of my wages into a brick building with uncomfortable wooden benches, a bell and an organ? He wanted even christinanize my Thai wife, otherwise we would not be married under the umbrella of the church... Crazy event after I left the church... Only 2 week it took and the Jehovas were in my door and told me that the decision to leave the catholic church was the best I made. All religions including Christians, Buddhists and Muslims are murders and liers.. I grabbed his throat and asked him how he found out that I left the katholic church and why he was not aware that he was standing face to face with a murdering buddhist who just grabs his throat.. I am now on my farm, the sky above me, trees and animals around me... I guess I must have found heaven and enjoy it until I am going in a wat through the chimney.. nuff said To the topic.. If the gospel and sould music is played open air and in free public places, I would stop by groove and listen. If a basket would be handed around, I would certainly give a donation for the performers.. But even in such musical events the German catholic church charged 45 EUR (!!) entry fee...

JackGats Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) This sounds to me like the usual traditional Ella Fitzgerald shouting. When I visited Guinea Bissau a taxi was playing wonderful music I was surprised to learn was Gospel. He found the CD of the songs for me, as they (uncomprehendingly) were unknown outside Bissau. This time of song, harmonic, cute: Edited August 26, 2023 by JackGats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaosLover Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Some very quiet jazz-gospel, in my short 100+ plays list on Itunes. There's a second album too. Where I used to live, old churches like this were about every 8 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
