This is the biggest episode we've done all year. LA pitched the idea when Sound Field started a year ago, and for the last 7 months we've been putting this episode together. Filmed in 3 cities with over 8 hours of footage. I can't wait to share this one with y'all and introduce you to the talented musicians of the black gospel church.
"Who created Black Gospel music?" I think y'all have to go back waaay before Thomas Dorsey for the answer. Also, Gospel came out of Blues and not the other way around.
This small community in the us brought to the planet a wealth of musicality from another dimension and it seems to be passed on from generation to generation especially their jazz music shows a form of intelegence and art at the same time.a salute to african americans ??
Seeing those artists during their shedding session was so amazing to me because the drumming responses reminded me of the west African talking drum
I want to join a gospel church in the portsmouth area uk any ideas where to go please people
Cuz you're playing for a god with a well-noted temper…
It's Spirit that makes them the way that they are as musicians. Being "tapped in" to that. Spirit isn't quantifiable.
it's pretty much how i got started and how i actually watch alot of drummers in church growing up and learning from them! had i not done it, i wouldn't have be tha drummer i am today
God gives many people Gifts unfortunately many Chose to us there musical gifts for evil some get there stuff from you know what.
Yeah, I'd love a series of this. Gospel, Christian music is one of the most diverse genre's. It spans over language, generation, and everything.
Just to clear things up as a former christian. Those pastors or religious sects saying that it's the devil's music was mostly because it wasn't 'biblically accurate' and it's a thing in christianity (mostly those who are strict christians and churches) that they would not patronize or associate anything with the lord if it's not biblically sound or aligns with their doctrine, biblically it's a sin, and it's called heresy and could also be considered blasphemy. Mr. Dorsey was just doing his own thing, and as a believer it is valid because it's just 'praise and worship' (which is ok bcs it's mostly their personal testimony of the lord) accompanied with music, and he was right for birthing gospel music, it is a blessing.
I agree that practice and performance frequency helps to hone talent. What about all the professional singers and musicians playing over 300 gigs a year? Anyway great video!
This might just change my taste in music forever.
I greatly enjoyed this during my first watch, however, my rewatch has triggered me (unrelated to Sound Field's work). That said, I just want to thank your team for putting this together. As I learn more about different styles of worship & music ministry, it helps to ground myself in the origins of gospel outside of theological debates.
I love this series I'm learning so much from it I've been bingeing on there the entire weekend
you forgot that bb king originally wanted to be a gospel singer. that man had pipes
Old ministers to Dorsey: Your music is devilish and against Christianity!
Unblack metal: Hold my beer!
(N.B.- You guys are absolutely amazing. Probably the best channel I discovered in recent times.)

I've grown up in a Hispanic Pentecostal church which was a combination of Rock, CCM, Country, and Gospel. But I played in a black church back in 2008 for a few months and learned real quick how much I needed to catch up. No charts, just ear and feel. But the MD will guide you, not baby you, but guide you.
Played in a white church for a little while and found it to be too easy and forced. I appreciate the growth and challenge of the black gospel, but I thoroughly enjoy the variety in the Hispanic church.
Is there a full video of them performing "Greater Than" that was at the end of this video? It sounded amazing!
Gospel music is so watered down now. For real.
Repetition. Church is open everyday. The average service is like 2.5 hours. That's a lot of practice. Just imagine if religious people focused on math and science! We could cure cancer.
Because ADOS music is the premiere music of the world, and the ADOS church is the premiere musical institution of America. The ADOS (Native Black American) church is the Juilliard of music. Its a cultural, way of life for those of us who grew up in these churches and when you consider that as an institution the ADOS church has produced everything from James Brown, to Whitney Houston, Soul Music etc etc to include those who have been influenced by it. It should really be held in a higher regard than it currently is. Some of the The best singers, the best musicians all tied to the Native Black American/ADOS church.
Such an excellent segment. I think it’s so relevant especially with Ma Rainey recently coming out with Chadwick Boseman , hearing Dorsey’s story is a beautiful tie of those parts after that aren’t show in the movie. Also Mahalia, who in New Orleans we know her as the Queen of Gospel, singing Dorsey, song about his family gives context why it was so powerful, along with her role in the Nation’s fight for civil rights.
I would love to see a another part adding in New Orleans in addressing Gospel, seeing Mahalia is from New Orleans, but also it’s pivotal role in America’s sound; as New Orleans is one of the few cities that allowed Africans to speak their original dialect and share their original rhythms and sounds at Congo Square. Great job again on this.
