Midwest Book Review
Early sacred singing and slave spirituals form the foundation of this examination of black gospel traditions in America. History and sociology are included in Boyer's exploration of the stages and changes of gospel music from early to modern times. Both individuals and groups receive profile: many illustrated by Lloyd Yearwood's black and white photos.
