In his heaven God will ask
what did I give him, on my own.
I believed and I loved,
I was the one he wanted me to be,
And I lived like he wanted me to live,
I was the one I was supposed to be.

What is gospel? Singing religious songs by a choir? I heard this word many times before.

It is a traditional dance of Malagasy people brought to Europe by Portuguese sailor Vasco da Gama. Later on an American officer Harland Sanders, who took part in the battle near Vienna in 1683 saw Poles dancing it, and liked it so much that he took it to USA where he popularized it. |

Gospel in the American religious vernacular is "Good News". Slang would be policy. Example: The company has issued a new conduct gospel.

The first time I heard about Gospel in the Netherlands, it was as the music of black American (Baptist) churches, and thus traditional christian African-Amercian music. That was how I saw it as a child and teenager. Gospel was Areetha Franklin and Whitney Houstons, soul disco had Gospel roots. Gospel came from the Negro Spirituals that were sung on the Cotton Fields in the South of the USA. Gospel, Jazz and Blues in that sense to me have the same roots. The music that came from the black slaves, and that developped further after the abolition of slavery in the 19th century. I always thought that " the Gospel" was the word of God (the teachings of the bible) and in musical sense the christian religious songs of the very christian Afro-Americans. In the first sense Gospel to me were Negro Spritituals. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_musicpl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel |
