shuggie61 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Hi I'm starting to get interested in finding great uptempo gospel records that don't bang on about God or Jesus too much. Heard Salem Travelers "Wade In The Water" earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Is there a thread about these kind of records? Or recommendations? Thank you!
Roburt Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Check out this old thread & the CD it deals with ............ There are other old threads that deal with good gospel dancers.
shuggie61 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks Roburt! I'll start with the Harmless compilation and then move onto crate-digging...

Popular Post Godzilla Posted October 17, 2013 Popular Post Posted October 17, 2013 I'm sure there's a name for music that sounds like gospel but with a more secular subject matter. Now, what is that they call it again...? 4
hullsoul Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Jean Austin-I Don't Have To Worry Ark Love this This is one of at least three versions that I know of that she's done of this song.There's a funky version on You Tube which sounds a lot later? Cheers Martyn

Guest Matt Male Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 An oldie but goodie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33dESRgnscg Not uptempo, but great... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4okMoMdI24&list=FLcpVwLakZ--s8mEtGxZ4cTA&index=11 ..and talking of Wade in the Water. Better than Salem Travellers in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRvOB6jEyoU
bri phill Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) A great mid tempo one The Salem Travellers Give Me Liberty Or Death And one I got slagged off for playing back in 1969 at some allniter And one Steve mentioned before absolute brilliance not really gospel though Edited October 19, 2013 by bri. phill

Greg Belson Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I can never understand the bug bear of having a problem with the lyrics though. Listen to the amazing music and some of the most heart wrenching, mind blowing vocal performances you're ever likely to hear.....if you let the subject matter (which in essence is usually a positive message or a socio-conscious document of the artists surroundings, much like any secular r&b or soul artist) get in the way of discovering these tunes, then you might just be missing out. Here's a few more though; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqP77zzxgxk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrsV6cKUdZ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZJDGCVaYQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eecspi3RyME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aK2Rb5XU_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiyRvlmyISI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNAZYu4aBCg

I agree Greg. I'm an atheist but it doesn't bother me that they are singing about God. I even find myself watching Shirley Caesar's sermons on Youtube! It's just great music.

Are the 2 connected as such? Do you play Gospel as you feel it's summink to do with a calling.....or because you like the music anyway?x There are messages in it all....and I listen to the lyrics of all tunes!x I like your style....whatever it is based on!x I have a good friend who gave me a CD with some tunes on that they sing/dance too at Christian Camp week-ends...all uplifting 'soulful' stuff....'modern'...but it's .massive' among his Worldwide congregation he belongs too...they sell millions of copy's and stuff!!

I'm not a religious person in the slightest......I do believe in the right to personal choice though so if religion is a major part of an individuals life, then I respect that......all I ask is to respect my choices too. I decided to explore the gospel path years ago, when the music and performances really spoke to me.....not the message. It would be wrong to be judgmental about the lyrical content, and miss out on such wonderful, heart felt and emotional performances.....and as I started to discover and scratch the surface of this genre, I realised just how vast it really is. This music deserves to be documented and it's the catalyst for so many secular soul & r&b tunes we all know and love. So for me, the discovery is part of the thrill, the documentation of often recordings so small in distribution, they'd only be available for one Sunday at the local church. There's so much to uncover from my era of choice which is circa '64 to circa '84, and every day there's something fresh and exciting to listen to! 2
