	Gospel Music
		Gospel music was the musical counterpart of the profound changes in religious life that were catalyzed by the Great Migration.
		Gospel singers employ a wide range of vocal techniques and colorings to make their music emotionally compelling and to draw their listeners in.
		Many prominent gospel quartets were founded in the 1920s and 1930s, including the Fairfield Four in 1921, the Blue Jay Singers during 1925-1926, the Harmonizing Four in 1927, the Dixie Hummingbirds in 1928, the Soul Stirrers during 1931-1932, the Golden Gate Quartet in 1934, and the Swan Silvertones in 1938.

	The Gospel Blues Society
		We believe that the musical genre known as the Gospel Blues did not start with the recordings made in the 1920's, which is what most of the Blues history books state.
		We intend to show that the form known as the Blues came out of the Negro Spirituals of the mid to late 1800's, left the church, went to the bars, and tried to return to the church in the 20's.
		This is when Thomas Dorsey found the Lord and brought the Blues, as it had been performed in the juke joints and barrelhouses since before the turn of the century, back into the church, where it became known as the " devil's music".

	THOMAS A. DORSEY, BLUES, GOSPEL MUSIC
		Tracing the rise of gospel blues as seen through the career of its founding figure, Thomas Andrew Dorsey, Harris not only tells the story of the most prominent person in the advent of gospel blues, but also contextualizes this powerful new musical form within African-American religious history and significant social developments.
		However, by the end of the 1930s, the former group had prevailed, because of the overwhelming response of the congregation to gospel blues.
		The Rise of Gospel Blues expresses the broader cultural and religious histories of the African-American experience between the late 1890s and the late 1930s.

		Gospel music is deeply rooted in the musical tradition of African-Americans, more specifically in the worksongs and spirituals of the slaves.
		The call and response nature of the songs, often biblical in nature and based on Western Hymns, is drawn directly from African musical heritage.
		Gospel, usually performed in a celebratory and exultant manner, has been an influence on both Country and Blues music, but its biggest impact has been at the higher end of the pop charts, with a generation of Soul and R&B stars receiving their musical schooling in Gospel choirs.

		Columbia was one of the biggest labels in the early days of the record industry, as is evident from the beginning of this collection, which features cuts by Bessie Smith, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie Johnson, the Mississippi Sheiks, and Thomas A. Dorsey.
		The label recorded no blues or folk until the early '60s, when the folk and blues revivals brought these musical styles to new audiences.
		This particular volume is a curious mix from turn of the century gospel and blues to the folk music of The Clancy Brothers and the New Christy Minstrels.

		The word Gospel is an elision of 'God' and 'spel' (The old English for story).
		By a further arbitrary use of the term, however, Gospel music is considered to have begun in the United States, sometimes in the 19th century, first appearing in print in 1874 with the publication of Gospel Songs by Philip Bliss.
		He founded his own publishing company, printing about 500 of his songs with the tag 'Gospel music', he charged for admission to performances, made recordings, formed the first female gospel quartet and discovered and promoted a new generation of singers including Mahalia Jackson.
