Boyer is generous but always balanced in his presentation of gospel's great performers, discussing them so intelligently and informatively that anyone who loves early and golden age gospel will love his book, too. -- Booklist Boyer is the foremost scholar of gospel music... [His] coverage of individuals and ensembles is very rich, and the result is a handsomely produced book useful to both specialists and laypersons at all levels. -- Choice Boyer infuses his immense knowledge of musical and vocal forms into an engrossing narrative... Superb. -- Stephanie Brasley, Multicultural Review This important volume tells the story of African American gospel music through analysis of its regional aspects, its creative musicians, and its long and powerful history. -- Kevin Toelle, Illinois Entertainer
