interested in doing a feature story or article on Detroit Gospel.com:
For Black History Month: A Look At Detroit's
Rich Gospel Music Heritage
Detroit's wealth of gospel music artists
is often taken for granted among Detroiters. It's only when you look
at the response to Detroit's gospel artists across the country and around
the world that you realize just how important this city is to the history
of gospel music. A new Internet resource taking such a look at Detroit's
gospel music heritage is the recently launched website, Detroit Gospel.com.
A Leap of Faith: Gospel Music Has Moved
From The Pew To The Big Time
Gospel music is no longer confined to the
church, it has become one of the fastest growing segments of the overall
entertainment industry, and as such has become increasingly high tech.
Music steeped in tradition has given way to Holy Hip Hop, and the pipe
organ to the mixing and sampling board. Vickie Winans isn't just a gospel
name, it's a domain name. A new website, Detroit Gospel.com picks up
on this trend by becoming the first and only website to chronicle the
Detroit gospel entertainment scene.
Detroiters Bridging The Digital Divide
In Detroit
Much has been said about the "digital
divide," the disparity between technology resources available to
those in different socioeconomic strata. Mary Lynne and Keith Crosby,
founders of Detroit-based web design company, FruitfulWorks, Inc., are
bridging that divide by educating and assisting Detroit small businesses
and organizations with website design and development. Additionally,
the Crosbys have developed Detroit Gospel.com (www.detroitgospel.com),
the first and only website to provide comprehensive coverage of the
Metropolitan Detroit gospel music and entertainment scene.
Is Detroit Really The Gospel Music Capital
Of The World? A New Website, Detroit Gospel.com, Thinks So
Detroit has been called the gospel music
capital of the world. Detroit has been a breeding ground for nationally
known artists such as Fred Hammond, Commissioned, The Winans, Vickie
Winans, The Clark Sisters, and so many more. One would be hard pressed
to find another city better positioned to make such a claim. A new website,
Detroit Gospel.com (www.detroitgospel.com), is the first and only website
to provide comprehensive coverage of the Metropolitan Detroit gospel
music and entertainment scene. It's detailed chronicling of the city's
heritage, major gospel artists, and up-and-coming artists fills a much
needed void in Detroit's gospel entertainment community.
