A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2022 In September of 1963,
Reverend Lawrence Roberts and the Angelic Choir of the First
Baptist Church of Nutley, New Jersey, teamed with rising gospel
star James Cleveland to record Peace Be Still. The LP and its
haunting title track became a phenomenon. Robert M. Marovich draws
on extensive oral interviews and archival research to chart the
history of Peace Be Still and the people who created it. Emerging
from an established gospel music milieu, Peace Be Still spent
several years as the bestselling gospel album of all time. As such,
it forged a template for live recordings of services that
transformed the gospel music business and Black worship. Marovich
also delves into the music's connection to fans and churchgoers,
its enormous popularity then and now, and the influence of the
Civil Rights Movement on the music's message and reception. The
first in-depth history of a foundational recording, Peace Be Still
shines a spotlight on the people and times that created a gospel
music touchstone.
