[Faith-talk] Christian Music History

[Joshua Lester]

Amen!
We must also remember, that in the United States, Gospel music gained
popularity, in the 1930's, when an African-American man, named Thomas
Andrew Dorsey started writing music.
He actually coined the phrase, "Gospel Music."
Blessings, Joshua
