NCLA Review - This book reviews gospel music from its foundations to the present time, focusing on the great performers of each era. It is heavily illustrated with photographs, mostly in black and white, but a few in color as well. The book will appeal most to those with an interest in the recorded performance of gospel music; those interested in composers of gospel, or in analysis of the works themselves, or with a focus on gospel music in worship must turn elsewhere. There are indexes to songs cited, and to persons named but no general index. A bibliography is included. Recommended only for libraries where there is extensive interest in gospel music, and even those libraries may wish to seek something with a more comprehensive scope.

Far beyond its immediate image of robed choirs, Gospel - through its solo singers and quartets, its impresarios and recording companies - has helped to give voice to the history of black people in America as well as shaping more obviously secular musical forms such as blues and rock 'n' roll. In this compelling and lively study, Steve Turner tells the story of Gospel against the backdrop of the social and economic changes taking place in the USA over a century and a half. He traces its history from its earliest expressions on the plantations of the south to initial influences in churches, its movement into the mainstream of popular music and on to its major period of popularity and influence in the middle decades of the 20th century. The book also features original interviews conducted by the author with many of the legendary figures of Gospel and is illustrated with photographs throughout.
