African-American Sacred Music.
Bailey, A. Peter
Crisis, v98 n2 p17,46 Feb 1991
The history of African-American sacred music is traced from the time of slavery to the present interest in gospel music. The religious music of African Americans is geared toward liberation themes. It is important that this music does not dilute its power through cross-over with other music forms. (SLD)
