As a 70s kid, I loved the influence of Jazz, Reggae, Rock & Roll, Big Band, Celtic, Classical and Gospel on Rock. Rock was a mutt, with the best parts of the other genres influencing what would be the greatest music ever recorded.

Gospel mixing with blues influenced rock in a soulful direction that is so rich it sends chills down my spine. You can experience the real deal yourself Sunday, March 15th when The Young, Gifted and Black Gospel Choir sing contemporary and traditional Gospel music.

Some get it. The depth and bredth of this music is deep and rich. In this case, it’s free. Sunday March 15th, 6 p.m. Salvation Army 601 E. 20th St. Cheyenne. 307-634-2769. Meanwhile, listen to this mix of Rock with Gospel in Harlem with U2.
