Attention all! This is our second episode in our series of the Many Styles of Christian Music. This episode touches on the "protest" songs in Gospel music. But we also want to appeal to all you "Vinyl" collectors, enthusiasts, addicts, and lovers, how you can help Professor Robert Darden and his team at the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project make a copy of every song released by every Black Gospel artist or group ever. He and his team provide the Gospel music for the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History & Culture. And of course, Professor Darden shares with us a list of his Gospel music selections to introduce new listeners or to remind old listeners of some of the great songs of Gospel.
