Gospel
Gospel Music is music that is written to express either personal or
a communal belief regarding Christian life. Gospel and rhythm &
blues are deeply rooted in the Sanctified church. Blues and R&B
departed onto the secular world paths and then led to rock and roll.
Gospel on the other hand remained on a strong spiritual path and has
survived for many years. Gospel music sheds an undeniable influence
on R&B and rock and roll. Urban contemporary Gospel is a form of
Christian music and a sub genre of Gospel music. There is no exact
starting date for urban contemporary Gospel but it started during
the slave trade when the Africans were introduced to the Christian
religion.
