response: I am not aware of any, but I know some more history; the music goes back to the early 17th century and has roots in black oral tradition.
original_response: Well actually, before it was known as gospel music, that typical style of music can be traced back to the early 17th century.
history: I'm not very religious so I don't know a lot about gospel music, can you tell me anything about that style? I can! It's known for its dominant vocals and often strong use of harmony, and for having Christian lyrics. That does sound powerful just reading about it, does it have a long history? The first use of "gospel song" likely arrived in 1874. Oh I would imagine it's probably older than that given the history of churches I guess. Are there any famous gospel artists I should know about?
