[edit] Links Deletion
Great...now some nitwit has deleted all the external links and replaced them with one link to a site that doesn't include many of the links that were here originally. This is what I despise about Wikipedia, and why I refuse to waste my time contributing to it any further.
[edit] Southern vs. white gospel
Is Cliff Barrows really a "Southern gospel" artist? I don't think so, but will defer to someone who knows more than I do. Italo Svevo
No, he is not typically identified with Southern Gospel, defining Southern Gospel as a genre of musicians who trace their musical heritage back to the shaped-notes publishers. Barrows traced his musical heritage back to the 1800s hymn writers like Phillip Bliss, Fanny Crosby, and William Kirkpatrick. Daniel J. Mount
[edit] Link to the Martins
The link to the Martins didn't lead where it was supposed to. It went to this page (Martins) instead. I don't think there is a page on the musical group yet. Daniel J. Mount
- No, there hasn't been one created for the Martins yet. When one is created, it should be listed here: The Martins (Southern Gospel group)T. White 07:14, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blog Reference Deleted
So we're denying the existence of blogs now? Dozens of Southern Gospel artists have blogs they use to communicate with their fans.
[edit] Jimmy Swaggart
Hi, I've been working on the Jimmy Swaggart pages recently and would like get the input of anyone interested in Southern Gospel. In particular his discography and an indication of which of his works are most significant, as well as links to back that up (as pages about living people are very big on cites). Any volunteers?

[edit] Attention Gospel music experts
There is currently a discussion regarding the origins of gospel music on the Gospel music article's talk page. We are looking for any individuals with knowledge regarding the development of Gospel music (all forms including urban contemporary, Southern Gospel, traditional, etc.) to join the discussion. The resulting conversation will result in a rewrite of the article. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 14:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
