I know there is a thread about "Cookie Cutter CCM," but does anyone here loves Urban/Gospel music on here, because I feel that there are not a lot of people who has not listened to it at all or there are a few posters who love this music.
Even though some of the lyrics are moving toward the prosperity movement, the message in this music is edgier and yes, the lyrics are bibically based and the music talks about what is in the bible.
Blacks and whites do love this music.
Traditional Artists who have a following and have you ever heard of these people?
Dorothy Norwood
Shirley Casear
Rev. Timothy Wright
Jessy Dixon
Dottie Peoples
Mighty Clouds of Joy
Williams Brothers
Lee Williams and the Spiritual QC's
Contemporary Artists
Yolanda Adams
Donnie Mc Clurkin
The Clark Sisters (The entire Clark Family, including their cousin is very talented)
The Winans family
Vanessa Bell Armstrong
Marvin Sapp
Urban Artists and up-and-coming
Deirick Haddon
Mary Mary
Jason Champion
City of Refuge Mass Choir (From So Cal)
Ricky Dillard
Martha Munizzi
Katinas (I consider them urban, even though they are CCM)
Ami Rushes
Kurt Carr
Beverly Crawford
Washington Projects
..And many more that this post cannot handle.
So for those of you who love gospel, what is your favorite song, new or old and why this song blessed you and made you stronger as a Christian?

I've heard all of your classic list, and would add Babbie Mason, Helen Baylor, Walter Hawkins, Tramaine Hawkins, The Blind Boys of Alabama, and the Queen of Gospel Mahalia Jackson.
You've left choir music off your list. Here are a few of my faves:
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - 300 voices and not one professional singer.
Gladys Knight and the Saints Unified Voices Choir
Richard Smallwood
John P. Kee
Hezekiah Walker
Joe Pace and the Colorado Mass Choir
The Georgia Mass Choir
The Mississippi Mass Choir
Where would you put Alvin Slaughter? Contemporary? I love that man's work.
