Evidently in recent weeks an act called Toby Mac has been top of the American pop charts and top of the Christian charts. I haven't heard his stuff (though I understand he does a few numbers with the aforementioned Kirk Franklin), and I am shy about listening to it because the notion of a 43 year old white rapper from Virginia just makes me pound my head at the thought of the chart-topping career that was never mine. Ah well. I love good faith-infused music. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Awolnation, etc.
You're talking about the classics. i've also come to dig among the more contemporary stuff gospel that seems to be quite popular in various African musics.

I enjoyed that - thanks Uli. The only African gospel I'm vaguely aware of is Charles Mombaya, although I guess Ladysmith Black Mambazo does it too sometimes.
I am an athiest..but I LOVE gospel muisc...I have no idea why. Too Close - Stevie Wonder and The Williams Bros does it for me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXF3YknF1LU
