history: I'm not a big fan of gospel music but I occasionally hear it on long road trips. Oh, OK. It's a type of Christian music. Yeah they used to play it in my youth group a long time ago when i used to go to church. One feature of Gospel music is dominant vocals with Christian lyrics Oh so it's like when I see those choir ladies singing in movies then? I couldn't say, but most churches at one time used foot stomping and hand clapping for the rhythm section. What other kind of music do churches usually have? I honestly don't know, but gospel music started in the early 17th century. Wow I didn't realize that it was that old.
knowledge: Hymns and sacred songs were often repeated in a call and response fashion.
