We've dusted off the records and rewound the cassettes to offer you Classic Gospel from the 1900's. Black Gospel music drew heavily upon the traditional spirituals that had been passed down from the days of slavery, picking up its more driving rhythmic emphasis from blues and early jazz. The music was quite egalitarian in terms of gender, as both male and female performers -- Brother Joe May, Rev.
