Southern Gospel Music got its start in Pennsylvania in the summer of 1958.  Since that time many people have invested their lives in this ministry of song.
Pennsylvania has become a hotbed of wonderful musical ministries and dedicated promoters and churches, who have one goal in mind.  That goal is the spreading of God's Word, and the message of Jesus Christ across the length and breadth of Pennsylvania and beyond.
Now we have another tangible way to show our support for Southern Gospel Music by the way of membership in the Pennsylvania Southern Gospel Music Association.  By becoming a member of the PSGMA you are investing in the preservation of the past and assuring the future as well.

The roots of gospel music are found in the rural churches that routinely failed to conform to the more sophisticated style of their urban counterparts.
Students of fl gospel music have noted that much of that rural character was transferred to urban areas as a result of the large number of fl southerners migrating north in search of economic opportunity during the early decades of the twentieth century.
Gospel singing, unlike the singing of hymns in church on Sunday, required that some individuals choose the making and performing of gospel music as their primary occupation.

 Gospel music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gospel music may refer to the religious music that first came out of African-American churches in the first quarter of the twentieth century or, more loosely, to both fl gospel music and to the religious music composed and sung by predominately white Southern Gospel artists.
The music popularized by Black gospel pioneers had its roots in the freewheeling forms of religious devotion of 'Sanctified' or 'Holiness' churches, who encouraged individual church members to 'testify', speaking or singing spontaneously about their faith and experience, sometimes while dancing in celebration.
One trend in modern music is to use a gospel choir occasionally in the middle of a song in a different genre, such as alternative or rock.
