Gospel is probably the most consistently influential style of Black American music. The 100 tracks in this box set range from solo performers of the stature of Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to the legendary quartet leads like Archie Brownlee, Ira Tucker, Sam Cooke and Dorothy Love Coates, leading the way and informing the soul-explosion of the 1960s, that brought us superstars like James Brown, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. The set contains a fully illustrated 48 page booklet, with a full discography and rare photographs.
