traditional gospel
Old-time sacred songs
Traditional gospel is a style of African American religious music rooted in spirituals, hymns, and blues, characterized by passionate vocal delivery, call-and-response patterns, and themes of faith, salvation, and perseverance.
It emerged in the early twentieth century through artists like Thomas Dorsey and Mahalia Jackson.
She grew up singing traditional gospel in her grandmother's church.
