Gospel Train

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Black gospel music is now the fastest-growing music industry in America. Contemporary gospel with its urban sound faces the same accusations of "sell out" and irreverence that blues musician Thomas A Dorsey encountered in the 1920s. In the last of the series, singer-songwriter Mal Pope travels to Harlem, where gospel services are marketed commercially, and looks at how British music is now beginning to influence the American scene. Producer Paul Evans
