Main Idea:

The Gospel Music or Worship Music is a soulful type that was sang to praise the lord. Lyrics are focused in biblical themes and words of God. African American developed this genre and black pastors used this in their churches.

Evidences that support the main idea:


"African American Gospel music is a form of euphoric, rhythmic, spiritual music rooted in the solo and responsive church singing of the African American South. Its development coincided with -- and is germane to -- the development of rhythm and blues."


"When many African American communities migrated from rural to urban life during the first half of the twentieth century, they brought their worship culture with them. Echoing the ways of the single-room churches of the agrarian South, the storefront churches of the northern cities became the key setting for the development of Gospel."
