Gospel music is the history of the United States after the black serfs accepted the Christian faith, often praying in the fields, hoping to reduce the pain of labor, soon evolved into impromptu music performance. After the abolition of slavery, black people organized their own churches and used this form of music as a form of church activity. In the mid-20th century, Elvis Presley introduced gospel music into his style, which was later commercialized by Motown Records.
Gospel Music emphasizes rhythmic instrumental accompaniment and improvisation. The singing style is characterized by the use of monosyllabic ornamentation (several notes combined into one syllable) and the shouting of the lyrics. Drums and electric guitar accompaniment to the beat of excitement and prominent rhythm. Gospel music began to emerge as a separate genre in the 1920s, a period such as when black composer Thomas A. Dorsey, when composing, blended early gospel music with the beat rhythms of blues and jazz. Early gospel music soloists included Sally Martin, Rosetta Tharpe, and Mahalia Jackson. Notable bands include Caravan, Clara Ward Singers, Sensational Nightingales, Swan Silvertones and Soul Stirrers. After gospel music reached the white churches of the South, singers developed a new style of singing influenced by country and western music. Early famous bands included the Stampus Quartet and the Black Forest Brothers. Gospel music was sung and recorded by Elvis Presley and Hank Williams. Many gospel singers also sing R & B, notably Asa Franklin and Sam Cooke. They borrowed the style of gospel singing from rhythm and blues, thus creating a new style of soul music. James Cleveland was the most famous gospel music singer of the 1960s and 1970s. The Winans were the most popular gospel music band of the 1990s
