SHOUT! Black Gospel Music Moments
Sundays 8:35 am; Mondays at 4:48am. 6:48am, 8:48am and 5:48pm.
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!
