Too close to heaven the story of gospel music
"Deeply rooted in African rhythms, the first gospel music, as sung on southern plantations, expressed the collective sorrow of American slaves, and the history of their diaspora. Using narration and thrilling performance footage, these programs trace the 200-year history of gospel music from black churches, to the civil rights movement, to its influence on modern jazz, blues, and rock and roll. Its revolutionary sounds and joyful vocal styles are featured in several live performances by noted singers. Interviews with key figures provide insights into the cultural and artistic importance of this uniquely American art form."--Distributor's website.

- "Using narration and performance footage, this film traces the 300 year history of gospel music. Part one examines the roots of gospel music which began when Black Americans became slaves on white American plantations and combined African music with Christianity to create a new musical form, the negro spiritual. Part two resumes with the emergence of gospel music into popular culture in the early 1900's with the advent of blues and jazz and its eventual amalgamation with sacred music. Part three commences with the songs of the Civil Rights Movement in the 60's that marked a turning point in gospel music which, originally formed out of slavery, gave voice to a new cry for freedom. Series concludes with an analysis of contemporary gospel and its impact on popular music and the Afro-American church."@en
