Gospel Roots of Rock and Soul starts February 3rd, 2019 at 9 a.m. to celebrate Black History Month and will air every Sunday in February on Wyoming Sounds

Hosted by Grammy award-winning gospel singer Cece Winans and produced by WXPN, this limited-run series is the culmination of a 15-month project that included field research in Memphis, Nashville, and Chicago, building a content-rich website, live events in Philadelphia with gospel legends The Fairfield Four, The Dixie Hummingbirds, the Fisk Jubilee Singers and numerous interviews with musicians, historians and scholars.

Each hour of Gospel Roots of Rock and Soul will illustrate the influence of gospel on secular music, celebrating the roots of black gospel and its impact on major artists.
