I love gospel music. I don’t mean the overproduced crap they play at megachurches, I’m talking about a piano, bass, and a stomp/clap choir in a black southern community church led one or more strong, usually female, singers.

I’ve never heard this music that wasn’t about God and that kind of puts me off so I’m wondering…is there gospel MUSIC without the gospel LYRICS?

[Edit]I’m talking Blues Brother church scene music - thanks shittydwarf for the link

      Damn I forgot all about these guys! I loved this song in Eternal Sunshine (along with the rest of the soundtrack/OST)

        Yeah, that’s where I discovered them too! Fabulous soundtrack to a fabulous film, I really should watch it again soon.
