The post-Civil Rights era saw gospel music take fascinating and unexpected turns. Claudrena N. Harold delves deep into the late-century gospel scene, focusing on renowned musicians such as Yolanda Adams, Andraé Crouch, the Clark Sisters, Al Green, Take 6, and the Winans. She also highlights the network of black record shops, churches, and businesses that fostered the music's growth. Harold meticulously details the creative shifts, sonic innovations, theological tensions, and political assertions that transformed gospel music. She revisits debates within the community about groundbreaking recordings and gospel's incorporation of rhythm and blues, funk, hip-hop, and other popular forms. At the same time, she explores how sociopolitical and cultural developments like the Black Power Movement and the rise of the Christian Right shaped both the art and attitudes of African American performers.
When Sunday Comes is a captivating exploration of gospel music's pivotal role as a means for African Americans to express their spiritual and cultural identities. Harold weaves insightful analysis into a collective biography of gospel icons, providing a comprehensive account of the genre's evolution and its profound impact on African American culture. Through her meticulous research and engaging storytelling, When Sunday Comes offers a valuable perspective on the enduring power of gospel music as a means of expression, healing, and social change.
