That's Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Gospel/blues artist whose guitar style played a role in the formation of rock n' roll. (Elvis cites her as an influence.) She's awesome. A real innovator, pioneer, and lover of what she did. She has a pretty good version of "Up above my Head" as well as many other gospel classics.
Quote:This is the rendition of that particular song I keep going back to, which is funny because I’m usually not into just straight up Gospel genre, but Jennifer Holiday is just so good that I feel like she transcends the genre.
Wow. That was dope. Thanks for introducing me to Jennifer Holiday. When the chorus came out and started clapping, that's when I couldn't help but jam along. It's odd to find Christians who aren't into gospel. (But I suppose you may find it odd that some atheists are.) I love gospel. I'm also into some heavily religious bluegrass.
Since you've become dissatisfied with contemporary Christian music, maybe you should do some more exploration of the gospel greats. Get into the roots. It's not just Christian music. A ton of contemporary music sucks.
