Best of '80s Gospel
Apple Music
In the 1980s, gospel was heavily influenced by the sound of modern R&B and pop, yet the music had lost none of its emotional heft. This playlist shows how those changes created a musical tension that led to lots of fascinating music—from the hair-raising hymns of The L.A. Mass Choir to The Winans' gorgeously produced R&B and Take 6's soulful a cappella.
