gaylel1 -> Anyone Else Enjoys Urban/Gospel Music? (7/1/2008 9:00:54 AM)

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.
