Marovich follows gospel music from early hymns and camp meetings through the Great Migration that brought it to Chicago. In time, the music grew into the sanctified soundtrack of the city's mainline black Protestant churches. In addition to drawing on print media and ephemera, Marovich mines hours of interviews with nearly fifty artists, ministers, and historians--as well as discussions with relatives and friends of past gospel pioneers--to recover many forgotten singers, musicians, songwriters, and industry leaders. He also examines how a lack of economic opportunity bred an entrepreneurial spirit that fueled gospel music's rise to popularity and opened a gate to social mobility for a number of its practitioners. As Marovich shows, gospel music expressed a yearning for freedom from earthly pains, racial prejudice, and life's hardships. In the end, it proved to be a sound too mighty and too joyous for even church walls to hold. 410 0$aMusic in American life. 606 $aGospel music$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans$vMusic 606 $aMusic$zIllinois$zChicago 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xHistory 615 0$aGospel music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans 615 0$aMusic 676 $a782.25409 700 $aMarovich$b Robert M.$01718809 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808588103321 996 $aA city called heaven$94116070 997 $aUNINA
