Gospel music evolved in often surprising directions during the
post-Civil Rights era. Claudrena N. Harold's in-depth look at
late-century gospel focuses on musicians like Yolanda Adams, Andrae
Crouch, the Clark Sisters, Al Green, Take 6, and the Winans, and on
the network of black record shops, churches, and businesses that
nurtured the music. Harold details the creative shifts, sonic
innovations, theological tensions, and political assertions that
transformed the music, and revisits the debates within the
community over groundbreaking recordings and gospel's incorporation
of rhythm and blues, funk, hip-hop, and other popular forms. At the
same time, she details how sociopolitical and cultural developments
like the Black Power Movement and the emergence of the Christian
Right shaped both the art and attitudes of African American
performers. Weaving insightful analysis into a collective biography
of gospel icons, When Sunday Comes explores the music's essential
place as an outlet for African Americans to express their spiritual
and cultural selves.
