Episode overview
Gospel singing has reached a new popularity in Europe with the highly successful tour of the Black Nativity company. In tonight's programme Alex Bradford talks to Kenneth Griffith about the origins of gospel singing in the early spirituals and jubilee songs; shows how it has drawn on the reels, the blues, and even Gershwin for its inspiration; and sings some of his own gospel songs with Princess Stewart, The Bradford Singers.
