Gospel music is known for its emotive, spirit-filled soulful sound.

It embraces the expression of grief, prayer, or soliloquy about personal circumstances of life, with a cry for deliverance from the oppressor.

It is uplifting music of the soul expressing hopeful fulfilment of the promises of God. It usually expresses worship or thanks to God and praise for deliverance from adverse circumstances. Gospel music originated from the soulful cry of the Negro in the cotton fields of the slave era. It was forged out of the fires of suffering of the oppressed Negro people, and developed further during the years of hardship and depression that followed.

The historical influence of gospel music on the music industry as we know it today is well documented. From the cotton fields of the American slave plantations came the Negro spiritual. Further development of the blues form and the free improvisation on instruments left lying around after the American civil war helped provide an environment for the development of many creative forms of music. The gospel music industry today in all its various genres has sprung from the well of these early forms of free musical expression.

From the roots of early African-American music developed gospel quartets in an acappella style. In the early twentieth century there were many successful black gospel musicians.

Black gospel music began to infiltrate black churches. The holiness-Pentecostal movement suited people who were not familiar with regular church music, and they also allowed the members of the congregation to use tambourines, drums, electric guitars or anything else they had at hand. The organ remained a prominent feature of the music of some churches that were established in this tradition. Gospel music and Pentecostalism went hand in hand. Many famous musicians such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, and the Blackwood Brothers were raised in Pentecostal churches, or have acknowledged the influence of that tradition.

Thomas A. The National Baptist Convention first publicly endorsed gospel music in and this further helped establish gospel music as an accepted form of worship in American churches. Today, black gospel and white gospel tend to be distinct genres for different audiences.

A Gospel Music Association was formed but it is mainly for white audiences and includes the music of famous white gospel artists such as George Beverly Shea and Bill and Gloria Gaither. There is a Gospel Music Hall of Fame , which includes a few black artists, such as Mahalia Jackson, but which ignores most black artists.

One of the earliest proponents of one of the most popular forms of music today was Elvis Presley. Film footage of his concerts reveals him returning to his motel room after a performance to meet with well-known gospel singers of the day like the Statler brothers. A more recent proponent of gospel music is Andrae Crouch.

His influence on the modern music scene is quite notable considering he is mainly known for his contribution to Christian music. Andrae was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in and is one of only 3 people to have their name added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame while they were still alive. Andrae was a main contributor to the music scene in the s — a period known as the Jesus Movement when the CCM music genre contemporary Christian music was being developed.
