There isn't so much gospel music anymore. It has been replaced by those insipid "praise songs." I was taken to the Holiness Church when I was small. I love the songs we used to sing then, such as "The Old Rigged Cross," "Victory in Jesus," "I'll be a List'nin' for my Name," and "When the Roll is Called up Yonder," to name a few.
What is your favorite gospel music?

Not a fan of modern gospel, but the old stuff was great.. e.g. The Blind Boys of Alabama

Band on the Run
I wish I could ban contemporary Christian music. With my rock'n'roll credentials, I hate it. I leave stores when it is played. There is such achingly beautiful Christian music from the past. Listen to the Beatles, Dylan, or the WHO for one minute and then compare Christian music. It is almost as though they admit they are not musicians. I would walk out of a church if I heard contemporary Christian music. Yuck.
I love gospel standards and spirituals. Chants are nice. Jesus Christ, Superstar proved you can have decent music. Episcopalians officailly adopted a hymn book of spirituals. I am used to hearing spirituals performed by black people. The white people try so hard. It is entertaining.

BluesBrothers (I liked your movie. Really made me laugh)
The YouTube you shared, the only reference I have, as a born in, is watching (your movie) and Whoopi Goldberg in 1994, Corrina, Corrina. They had a gospel moment, too.
Most of the KHalls I have been at, in, or visiting, only a few seem to sing. Most just mumble.
I was on a Bible study aka Watch Tower interrogation and brainwashing technique 101, for the as yet, uninitiated,
when the lady mentioned that she enjoyed listening to Gospel music. Oh, oh.
I don't recall exactly, what the "conductor" said, more or less, don't waste your time with that. They are singing about Jesus, not Jehovah.
