Abstract

Gospel blues, a blend of sacred texts and blues tunes, was first heard in the late 1930s in the black Protestant churches of the American mid-west and north-east. This text traces the origins and development of gospel music as seen through the career of its founding father, Rev Thomas Dorsey.
