The Gospel of Pop
Mica Paris has the best gospel that left the church and crossed into pop music. From Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Stormzy, these songs will lift the spirit and raise the roof!
Mica Paris has the best gospel that left the church and crossed into the pop charts. Gospel music has been hugely influential in the evolution of pop, rock, R & B, country, hip hop and more, and is still hugely relevant today, with gospel choirs backing many a pop hit.
It's not always been an easy transition for traditional gospel artists to perform secular music. Mica explores the history of the most trail-blazing artists and explores how artists who didn't grow up in the church would look to the genre for inspiration. From Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Nina Simone, Paul Simon, Lauryn Hill and Stormzy; these songs will lift the spirit and raise the roof!
