Practice songs for gospel beginners

I’ve put together a selection of songs that are suitable for practice for those new to gospel.

Gospel is a form of religious music that originated in the United States within Protestant Christianity, and the word also means “good news.”

The distinctive vocal style heard in church singing is something many singers admire and try to emulate.

It’s a song about what freedom is, and it’s basically saying, “Think about what you’re trying to do to me!” In the movie The Blues Brothers, Aretha Franklin herself sings it.

When Aretha sings it, it almost just sounds like spoken lines, doesn’t it?
