The first use of "gospel song" likely arrived in 1874.
It does, but it's not well documented. The earliest use of the term ''gospel song'' was first published in 1874.
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?
