An inversion of the question, it’s a wonderful track by Vienna Teng called “Hymn of Acxiom”. She sings it in a religious choral gospel style but it’s really a hymn about Google and ‘Big Brother’ surveillance. She won the thirteenth annual Independent Music Awards for best A Cappella song. It sounds like a choral group but it’s really her singing solo through a vocoder. You can find it on Tidal and several great covers are on Youtube with my favorite by the Parkway West Jazz Choir, real singers in that case, not a vocoder.
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."
