Despite the near-universal awareness of Gospel music and its influence on everything from folk to R&B to jazz and even rock and roll (maybe especially rock and roll), it is incredible to see how many star performers and multi-hit songwriters have gone unknown to most fans.

With this show, we take a few steps to correct that oversight.
