fans of this best-selling genre of popular music.
Uncloudy Days is a treasure chest of substantial
profiles on the influential names in gospel music history
such as Thomas Dorsey, Mahalia Jackson, the Hawkins family,
Clara Ward, James Cleveland, and the Winans. It also
uncovers the history of one-hit wonders and others who are
not as familiar to gospel music fans. Everyone has a story
to share and this book tells more than 500 of them, many
based on personal interviews, including the trials and
tribulations endured by so many gospel artists. The author offers entertaining and informative reviews that
lead readers to the best recordings by their favorite
artists and help them find new music to explore. A glossary
of terms and numerous charts showing the best-selling gospel
recordings and videos of all time round out this
entertaining and indispensable resource for current fans and
new converts alike.
