A unique tribute to often overlooked women who have left an
indelible mark on Gospel Music-powerful talents who overcame racism
and sexism to define the genre, establish its sound, and set the
standard for good sangin' for generations. Nothing in the world
soothes the soul better than Gospel music. From the foot-stomping,
hand-clapping melodies of yesterday to the head-bobbing,
bass-thumping hits of today, Gospel music ignites the spirit and
delivers the inspiration that takes us from the rough side of the
mountain to the peak of God's love and grace. That feeling of joy,
peace, love, and contentment is amplified when it's ringing through
the voice of a sister who can SANG, Cheryl Wills reminds us. The
remedy for a tough day at work can be alleviated with Mary Mary's
uplifting jam Shackles, the answer to your heart's desires can be
found in the harmonies of The Clark Sisters Name It, Claim It, and
if you need a reminder of God's love, there is nothing more
timeless that Aretha Franklin's stirring rendition of Amazing
Grace. Some talented performers, like Sister Rosetta Tharpe have
faded from history, while singers like Yolanda Adams are at the top
of her game. During the twentieth century, Willie Mae Ford spent
most of her life encouraging and uplifting Christians both in
church and on stage and composed more than 100 Gospel songs, yet it
was men like her co-writer, Thomas A. Dorsey, who received the
accolades and fame. Many women in the Gospel music industry go
unnoticed, unpaid, and under-appreciated for their contributions,
yet it is these women who are often the bedrock for songwriting,
arranging, directing, and developing singers. Cheryl Wills, the
granddaughter of a Gospel singer, at last shines a spotlight on
these spectacular women of song. The only book of its kind, Isn't
Her Grace Amazing! showcase the talents, gifts, and skills of women
in the Gospel music industry. It celebrates these heroines,
chronicles their journeys from the choir loft to the world's
largest stages, and reveals how they revolutionized this sacred
music that is beloved worldwide. From the matriarchs of this
movement to today's chart-topping divas, Wills offers in-depth
portraits of twenty-five amazing women of Gospel music-based on
interviews and extensive research-behind-the-scenes stories of
favorite gospel hits, and illuminates what makes each of them
shine.
