I am not one of them but a large (and rich) free grace charismatic Christian denomination mega church is Hillsong which has produced over 40 albums. I call them happy clappies but they know how to make money!
Religious music for less than devout
We have a thread " Jazz for someone who doesn’t like jazz. " In a similar vein perhaps "Religious music for the less than devout".
"people get ready" - Rod Stewart
"Amazing Grace" - Jessye Norman
2009 "Duets" - Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The - entire CD
1988 "Sweet Fellowship" - Acappella, the entire CD
In 1989 I was working in NJ, I may have been the only guy on the job who did not know he was working for the Irish Mafia. I would lend people the CD "Sweet Fellowship" and they were willing to pay for it but never return it:
"Here is $20 kid, go buy yourself another cuz youz can’t have mine back. Now don’t ever ask me again."

Album from 1996. European group Vox. The album; Diadema. On this album the group Vox imaginatively adapt the 12th century Mystic Hildegard Von Bingen’s profound religious musical compositions. Stunning, haunting and utterly brilliant. Much of Mozart’s church music, while not as well recognized, is sublime. I love the comment a poster made a few months back, that his wife doesn’t like Mozart. She thinks it sounds like elevator music. LoL! She is in a profound minority. People from Arabic countries have started to adapt Mozart to their instrumentation, such is the effect of his music on them. One thing for sure, I will be listening to Mozart until the day I kick the bucket. |
Amg, you wanna see someone that knows how to make money, try Lady Gaga. Or Britney Spears in her heyday. Or Michael Jackson in his. Geez, how many kazillion albums did ABBA or ELO or the Beatles sell? Bdp, I was going to mention Buddy and Julie Miller. Dirty Water is the best recorded track I have. I also have most of Julie Miller’s solo career. They marketed her as the Cindy Lauper sound alike. I always felt that the “sounds like” description marketing of Christian artists was goofy. Anyone, look up dirty water on YouTube, it’s got a really excellent guitar solo. |
@lsteel1, I did not know that Kingfish Ingram's mother had died. I saw him perform in an old bank building in Clarksdale, Mississippi a few years ago. He was brilliant and mesmerizing. And his mother was right there sitting behind him just off the stage area. It was my understanding that she was always close by. Such a loss is hard on anyone but I got the impression that he really depended on her. @slaw Atheists Aint Got No Songs is hilarious. Here is the answer to that song. Also hilarious: https://youtu.be/26nJjNDsbmkhttp:// |
