More About the Show
This live-to-tape event is a companion presentation to the PBS four-hour documentary series GOSPEL, hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., that acknowledges the rich history of Gospel music and the contributions that this genre has made throughout history and culture.
Gospel music has a unique and unrivaled power – not just musically but in its ability to inspire and unite us all. No other genre is as connected to our history or as cathartic to our souls than this quintessentially American art form. Filmed in the heart of LA at Oasis Church in front of a live audience, GOSPEL Live! features performances by secular and gospel artists, and includes personal reflections from musical talent as they share how gospel music has touched their lives.
Acclaimed gospel artist Erica Campbell takes us to church as she guides viewers through the spirit of each era of Gospel’s long history. John Legend, Anthony Hamilton and The Ton3s, LaTocha, Mali Music, Lena Byrd Miles, Sheléa and Tauren Wells share songs especially arranged with music director Alonzo "Zo" Harris. With so much happening in the world today, GOSPEL Live! Presented by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is an experience that is warm and heartfelt for both all those involved and viewers alike.
