    Sam Cooke Poems

    In the Boston Globe in 1960, the Catholic Chaplain, Father Norman J. O'Connor CSP, wrote about the ties among gospel, jazz, and soul. He wrote, "soul music today in jazz is gospel revival songs." He continues to explain how the new soul music that was coming out at the time immediately reminded him of southern gospel songs because they both focus on the raw emotion that comes from celebrating with music. For Sam Cooke, that is exactly what music was about. Despite the many people coming after him because of his fall from grace, Sam Cooke’s resistance was apparent in all aspects of his life as he continued to further his career in the commercial side of the music industry and produce top pop…

    In a time where the majority of music is about making money, doing drugs, or having sex, it is complicated for music concerning other topics to gain attention. However, there are always a few jewels that beat the odds. Lecrae, the stage name of a Christian lyricist who piously centers his music around the teachings of Jesus Christ, is one of those jewels. In all of his songs there are explicit references that all of his energy is channeled into doing the will of God. Typically Lecrae’s genre of music is overlooked by the majority population because it lacks the pizazz in the beat that popular music has. As a result of this millions of people get deprived of the content of Christian music which has the power to change one’s perspectives for the better. Fortunately, Lecrae is one of very few artists who are able to blend the attractive rhythms of pop music with lyrics composed of the deep Christian concepts. In Lecrae’s “Chase That (Ambition)” the beat of the song alone captures listeners’ attention followed by critical lyrics of Lecrae convincing listeners that satisfaction in life would not be reached by chasing their own desires but by rather chasing to live a life after Jesus Christ.…

    Since his debut 1993’s Kirk Franklin & the family, Kirk Franklin has been one of the brightest stars in contemporary gospel music. The album spent 100weeks on the gospel charts [some of those on the top], crossed over to the R&B charts and became the first gospel debut album to go platinum. His second album, Kirk Franklin and the family Christmas, became the genre’s first Christmas album to make it to the number one, and his 1996 album Whatcha lookin’ 4 went gold as soon as it was distributed. With such phenomenal success, it is small wonder that some have hailed him as ‘the garth brooks of the gospel.’ Still, despite adulation and brouhaha, Franklin remains a humble, devout Christian eschewing the title ‘entertainer’ in favour of labeling himself as just a church boy.’…
