\"GospelMusicHeritageMonth.jpg\"<\/span>This summer, the Congrss pass resolutions (House of Representatives – (H.Con. Res. 370) and Senate – S. Res. 595) that designated September at Gospel Music Heritage Month. The initiative was created by Gospel Music Channel, the country’s first and only television network devoted to all forms of Gospel\/Christian music, with support from The Recording Academy and the Gospel Music Association.
\nWhile at first it might seem like a very clever marketing ploy on the part of the Gospel Music Channel, it’s actually a great thing to have an entire month dedicated to honoring gospel music, in its many forms.
\nThe genre has influenced every form of music, from church hymns to Elvis<\/a> to David Byrne’s latest project<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nFor more information, you can visit www.gospelmusicheritage.com, which is the Gospel Music Channel’s website.
\nYou can test your Gospel music trivia knowledge, although I had a few problems with the quiz. When I went to look at my answer, it had marked different answers than I had given. And I’m not so sure about tis question:
\nWhat was the first-ever gospel music video to be played on MTV?
\na) Jars of Clay “Flood”
\nb) Kirk Franklin<\/a> “Stomp”
\nc) Third Day “Consuming Fire”
\nd) P.O.D. “Boom”
\nSince we’re defining any Christian music as gospel, I think we can go even farther back – how about Degarmo and Key’s “666”? <\/a>(The answer to the above question is B)
\nAnd if you go to the Artists page,<\/a> you won’t find a whole lot there about Southern Gospel and there’s not even a category on the home page for Gospel. Just Rock, Country, Pop and Soul.
\nBut the channel is doing a ton of stuff this month on Gospel music, so watch your local listings for shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
