"Black gospel developed and flourished in the 20th and 21st centuries: first among African Americans in the northern industrial cities, then throughout North America and across many cultures. Gospel music emerged ... as a distinct religious musical art form in the 1930s, which drew on spirituals, jubilee singing, the blues, and hymnody from various traditions." Oxford Music Online
