a review:
Perhaps the most intense and emotional music one can ever hear is the best of African-American Gospel music.
Packed with evocative photos, rare audio recordings, stirring film appearances and TV performances, REJOICE AND SHOUT covers the 200 year musical history of African-American Christianity. Culled from hundreds of hours of music, REJOICE AND SHOUT features the crème de la crème of Gospel music.
REJOICE AND SHOUT traces the evolution of Gospel through its many musical styles – spirituals and early hymns, four-part harmony-based quartets, the integration of blues and swing into Gospel, the emergence of Soul, and the blending of Rap and Hip Hop elements.
Gospel music also walked in step with the story of African-American culture – from slavery, hardscrabble rural existence and plantation work, the exodus to major cities, the Depression, World War II, to the civil rights movement and empowerment. REJOICE AND SHOUT connects the history of African-American culture with Gospel as it first impacted popular culture at large – and continues to do.

Wow! A thread for me??
Be back in a few. Gotta take the grandson to the Dairy Queen. I can say though that I have not seen Rejoice and Shout as of yet. I LOVE Mahalia Jackson. One of my most requested songs that people are ALWAYS, ALWAYS asking me to sing at funerals is Soon I Will Be Done, which is from the Imitation of Life. I think the movie, and the song, are sad beyond words. I have told my children that they had better not have that sad as song sung at my funeral. Nonetheless, people are always asking me to sing it. Go figure.

You envisioned me just as I am. I don't see the singer smilie. Also, half the time when I try to reply on a thread, or even go from one thread to another, I get frozen out. Is that the norm?

Sing it, wench! I want to hear.
I have the voice of a crow; I love to hear people that can actually sing.
RE: *Rejoice and Shout* - IMaDick - 07-04-2011
If you had said the voice of a loon you would have been more accurate.
So we have another internet star in our midst, I suppose you and OP could sing as a trio, don't worry that there are only 2 names there, OP has multiple personalities and all of them are the best at everything together they contain the wisdom of the ages.

@ Lady: Ohhhh. I see it now. As a matter of fact, I even see it in your first post before.
@ username: can you hear me? I'm singing right now. Clears throat, "Soon I will be done with all the troubles of this world. The troubles of this world. The troubles of this old wor-or-orld. Soon I will be done with all the troubles of this world. I'm goin' to live with God ... " I bet you can throw down, if only in the shower.
@ Dick: I haven't had the pleasure of "meeting" the OP personalities yet. I'm no star, but I'm not too bad on the ears, from what I've been told.
