Gospel in Prog

I think a more fruitful search might be in a period of Black Gospel from 1965 to1975.   I have a list of about 40 of these songs that are very well-played.
Some have that funkiness that I find the greatest of prog often has.

I have a couple of playlists on myspace.  You can find one under
"Cosmopolitan, Wisconsin and Other Choirs."

It's not going to be everyones' taste but some here may like it.

Check out how the bass handles the changes in this one:

Nikki Giovanni is one of the most respect modern poets:

	I haven't put them all in playlists, but another one I created is called: "1970s Era Black Gospels Rockers Will Love," Magma's Ka even has a "Hallelujah" section, and there are other Magma tunes that have a strong gospel, including some songs on Attahk. I think Emerson did a little bit with it on some solo albums. Edited by brainstormer - September 21 2014 at 22:17

	Thanks everyone. I didn't expect such a big number of suggestions. Well... I guess I have some new music to listen to and albums to check out now.

	The only song that springs to my mind is Queen's Somebody to Love from A Day at the Races. Great track, I wish I knew more like it.
