Gospel Gold-"Merry Christmas"

Africa is where it all began. Of all the lavish gifts Africa has given the world, the richest and most unique combination of music and religion: religion with rhythm. With the first African slaves landing on American shores they came with African rhythm. Work songs and field hollers - the basic elements for the spirituals. It is rhythm that drives American music: the spirituals, and by extension gospel, the blues, jazz, ragtime and rock n'roll.
The Gospel Music experience cannot be told in a short story, or even in a one hour melody of songs, for it is far too rich, far too harmonious and deliberately stimulating.  It is a living experience, always changing, always giving, and always becoming the foundation that gave moral, physical and spiritual support to a great and powerful people.
