Southern gospel, as its name implies, has its origins in the South-eastern United States. Sometimes called "quartet music" due to the original all male, tenor-lead-baritone-bass quartet make-up and dependence on strong harmonies, Southern gospel is music whose lyrics are written to express either personal or a communal faith regarding biblical teachings and Christian life, as well as (in terms of the varying music styles) to give a Christian alternative to mainstream secular music. 

Claude Jeter of the Swan Silvertones, Julius Cheeks of the Sensational Nightingales, Archie Brownlee of the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi and Ira Tucker of the Dixie Hummingbirds. 

More than that.  The great struggle of the 1960’s until 1980 was a struggle of the common man.  It was a battle for rights against privileges, the long, slow, and awkward striving for government, this syncopation consisted of the people, by the people, and for the people- the struggles which were identical in Blacks, Whites, Brown, and Others
