I found this lovely track on you tube. I wasn't looking, but it got my curiosity about gospel.

This is actually my favourite gospel song, and this is a good rendition, although my favourite is my school's gospel choir.

Must have about 20 versions of that. It is to gospel what St James Infirmary or When The Saints Go Marching In is to New Orleans jazz bands

ANd it's almost always brilliant

There's a kid at school who always makes me cry when she sings it. She has such a pure voice and she's such a lovely lovely child too.

 

[El Jefe]

Kids singing well always make me weepy.
