Gospel Music, Anyone?

As I toggled through blog favorites today, I noticed this clip at our friend Cara's site. Cara says she first heard "His Eye is on the Sparrow" on an episode of "Quantum Leap." I was reminded of two things: First, one day about 10 years ago I was watching one of those war/military movies (I can't remember which), but I was captivated during a scene where a man was singing a gospel song while playing the piano. Though I wasn't a believer then and couldn't properly appreciate the song, I was in awe of the passion with which the man sung. I was impressed by a man unashamed to emote seemingly sincere love for Jesus. (It remains to be seen whether that actor was sharing true feelings.) But it did strike me.

Second, I remembered my desire to have a gospel playlist in iTunes. The only reason I don't have that playlist is because I know nothing about gospel music. I don't know the good songs nor the good artists. So, this post is a plea: If you know any good gospel songs and/or artists, please Comment. In a week, I expect to press Play on my new gospel playlist. So let's hear it!
