GOSPEL MUSIC Gospel is music with a message. It is deeply religious, and often associated with Christian evangelists and preachers, and with the black congregations of churches in the southern United States. Gospel singing can be emotional; it is usually energetic and joyful. The lyrics are spiritual and prayerful, and the music is uplifting. Gospel music is about hope, joy and peace.In spite of its religious themes, gospel fans include churchgoers and non-churchgoers alike. Gospel music has influenced many well-known pop singers, including Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin (herself the daughter of a preacher). Soul Jazz Soul Jazz, which was the most popular jazz style of the 1960s, differs from bebop and hard bop (from which it originally developed) in that the emphasis is on the rhythmic groove. Although soloists follow the chords as in bop, the bass lines (often played by an organist if not a string bassist) dance rather than stick strictly to a four-to-the bar walking pattern. The musicians build their accompaniment around the bassline and, although there are often strong melodies, it is the catchiness of the groove and the amount of heat generated by the soloists that determine whether the performance is successful.
