The World of GospelJump into the world of black and white musicians in gospel music! Black gospel was born in the city of Chicago. White and black gospel music are similar but again, two different things. You see, the beginning of black gospel music was at the same time as the beginning of ragtime, blues and jazz. White gospel music is associated with the rise of the Pentecostal church at the end of the 19th century. Gospel music is church music that helps make people feel more spiritual. There are many artists in this catorgory such as Thomas Dorsey, Mahalia Jackson, and Eddie DeJean, and the Zion Harmonizors.To find out more about gospel music, or artists visit: http://www.wwoz.org/links
