  • Description

    Gospel is probably the most consistently influential style of Black American music. The 60 tracks here range from solo performers of the stature of Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to the legendary groups headed by Sam Cooke and Dorothy Love Coates, leading the way and informing the soul-explosion of the 1960s, that brought us superstars like James Brown, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding.
