African American Community Gospel, Vol. IV CD

Nearing the end of the 20th century, African American sacred music remains a vital part of community expression. This collection presents selected samples of sacred music performances from Alabama and Washington, DC, to present the music from a local perspective. The same people who are the constituency for professional gospel artists are themselves involved in the creation of their own music. 15 songs.

A local perspective of sacred music from two regions: Alabama and Washington, D.C. Singers include The Gospel Harmonettes: Jesus Is on the Mainline; Donald Vails and the Celebration Delegation: Lead Me, Guide Me; and The Bible Way Temple Radio Choir: Yes, Lord. 59 minutes.
