I’m getting into the regional tidbits of gospel, specifically what’s been going down in Chicago since the 1920s. Y’all ever heard about Bronzeville? Well what about the Gospel Festival hosted every year in Chicago? its happening on June 1 this year if you were wondering.
I chit chat about Detroit’s gospel scene. Did you know that Della Reese founded a very successful gospel chorus before going on to touch the angels?
I also touch on Oakland and the Hawkins family…also the Pointer Sisters, a lot of y’all don’t know they are West Oakland’s finest. Started in the church for real.
Apologies in advance to the girlies from Atlanta, LA, Philly, and Memphis. I love y’all so much but I was unable to fit your gospel histories in this episode. in due time i will be doing yall justice
