SPECIAL PROGAMMING NOTE: SHOUT! host Bob Darden recently partnered with composer and scholar Dr. Stephen Newby for a one-hour radio special commemorating the 10th anniversary of the passing of gospel legend Andraé Crouch. Ten Transformative Songs of Andraé Crouch explores the life, ministry, and musical legacy of one of gospel’s most influential voices. The program builds on themes from their newly released book, Soon and Very Soon: The Transformative Music and Ministry of Andraé Crouch. You can link to the program by clicking here.

Author and Baylor University professor Robert Darden tells stories -- and plays recordings -- from the Baylor University Libraries' Black Gospel Music Restoration Project in an on-going weekly series of two-minute segments. SHOUT! Black Gospel Music Moments explores the distinctly African-American sound of the "Golden Age of Gospel" (1945-1975). The series celebrates this fertile musical period in American history, presenting cultural snapshots that reveal the depth of a people, their community, and the influence they have had on the rest of American music.

SHOUT! Black Gospel Music Moments has also been selected by the panelists at Feedspot.com as one of the Top 10 Black Gospel Podcasts on the web in 2024!
