henrietta. Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've been blasting Kirk's "Looking For You" recently. Here are a few more I listen to: Myron Butler & Levi - Set Me Free Shirley Caesar feat. Tonex-I Know the Truth @ Shirley's. I couldn't find Vickie Winan' "Dance Till the Walls Come Down".

Illi Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Perhaps I'm being a little picky, but some of these songs seem a little more mainstream-y inspirational than Gospel (or even CCM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibeology Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Perhaps I'm being a little picky, but some of these songs seem a little more mainstream-y inspirational than Gospel (or even CCM). I completely agree. There is a obvious difference to me. I always loved "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness and the fact that it wasnt to preachy. I love that its more about positive thinking and hope. This is one of the few gospel songs i have time for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta. Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Perhaps I'm being a little picky, but some of these songs seem a little more mainstream-y inspirational than Gospel (or even CCM). Times have changed and they're moving on with the change by at least releasing one or two singles that could get mainstream play. They still do the typical church Gospel songs for majority of their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily talking about mainstream-inspired music that would be lucky to cross-over to top 40 radio, but rather top-40 type music with an inspirational message. There are songs that work really well on both side (e.g., I believe I can fly), but just because it's inpsirational doesn't necessarily make it gospel per se (I.E., ain't nobody going to performing that in their church). [This is an extreme case] but would you consider 'Fireworks' gospel. This isn't a ruffle feathers but I just had a different definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Perhaps I'm being a little picky, but some of these songs seem a little more mainstream-y inspirational than Gospel (or even CCM). I pretty much consider anything that : Mentions God or Jesus repeatedly &/or has a choir I personally consider it gospel. But this is for my picks and yours so if you think we're picking too many main stream go ahead and put up some of that ol school gospel. Its all about what you consider Gospel. I've been blasting Kirk's "Looking For You" recently. Here are a few more I listen to: Myron Butler & Levi - Set Me Free Shirley Caesar feat. Tonex-I Know the Truth @ Shirley's. I couldn't find Vickie Winan' "Dance Till the Walls Come Down". LAWD I love Shirley, she shut it down yea I heard Looking For You on the radio the other day and I just fell back in love with it, part of the reason for posting this, I die for the "Uh-oh, uh-uh-oh!" parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Katy fan, but the lyrics are 100% true. When folks normally mentions "Gospel" they only thing about the definition that defines it as the teaching of God and religion. It's more than that. A lot of "non-Gospel" songs can actually be sang in Church but since it doesn't have "God" or "Jesus" mentioned, they don't. yea I heard Looking For You on the radio the other day and I just fell back in love with it, part of the reason for posting this, I die for the "Uh-oh, uh-uh-oh!" parts That's the part I LIVE for!
