Gospel music is a genre of Christian music that originated in African American churches in the United States in the early 20th century. It typically features strong vocals, often with a call-and-response structure, and is characterized by its use of religious themes and lyrics. Gospel music can be traced back to African American spirituals and hymns, and has since evolved to include various sub-genres such as traditional gospel, contemporary gospel, and gospel blues. The genre has had a significant influence on other musical styles, particularly soul and R&B.
