This week's list is longer than usual and I split it up between things that are more to listen to (that is the sound is more important than the visual) and videos that more need to be seen.
More than almost any other kind
of music in this course Gospel is about public live performance and many songs
are far more expressive and emotional with audience feedback than their studio
versions suggest.
As always, if you find dead
links, please let me know.
