It Is "Gospel Monday" What A Great Treat We Have For You On CCM Classic Radio: TUNE IN!!!
Greeting Friends,
Below are some interesting facts about Southern Gospel Music:
Is Southern gospel music still popular?
Over the last decades, a newer version of southern gospel has grown in popularity. This style is called progressive southern gospel and is characterized by a blend of traditional southern gospel, bluegrass, modern country, contemporary Christian and pop music elements.
Who is the highest paid Southern Gospel singer?
Kee, also known as John Prince (John Pee KEE), the world's wealthiest gospel musician, is currently the world's richest. He is a well-known gospel singer who has been singing for more than 20 years
Is gospel music rooted in slavery from the fields?
Slave owners would even require them to attend church where they would learn of the faith and would often be led by a preacher singing hymns. Over time, as they would work under harsh conditions, slaves would begin to sing these variations of the hymns they learned at the services they attended.
Who is considered the king of gospel music? Known as the King of Gospel, Cleveland was a driving force behind the creation of the modern gospel sound by incorporating traditional black gospel, soul, pop, and jazz in arrangements for mass choirs. Throughout his career, Cleveland appeared on hundreds of recordings and earned four Grammy Awards.
