"C.L. Franklin, the most imitated soul preacher in history, was a
combination of soul and science and substance and
sweetness."--Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, from the Foreword Few black
preachers have been better known that the Reverend C. L. Franklin;
none has been considered a better preacher. This collection of
twenty of Franklin's best sermons shows the development of his
style. A learned man, Franklin had attended both seminary and
college, yet in his sermons used the old-fashioned, extemporaneous
style of preaching, "whooping" or chanting, combining oratory and
intoned poetry to reach both head and heart. Dozens of Franklin's
sermons were released on record albums, and he went on preaching
tours with gospel groups that included his daughter, Aretha
Franklin, reaching virtually every corner of the United States.
This volume begins with Franklin's life history, told in his own
words. In an afterword, Jeff Titon reviews the African-American
sermon tradition and Franklin's place in it.
