How/why do you guys go up for gospel girls so much? I think it's cool but where does it come from?
Most people who are regarded as brilliant singers come from the church. The music from the church and that style of singing is the reference point, especially for R&B. I took an African American music history course in undergrad, and the whole semester, we traced every genre of music back to gospel and blues lol
The Clark Sisters are the pioneers of a style that will probably live on forever. The way they blend, their harmonies, the vocal acrobatics...they've been the blueprint for 40+ years. They broke the mold. Truly legends.
