Tonight on Gospel Gold : The Florida Mass Choir arrived on the scene in the late 1970s, when mass choirs were beginning to dominate gospel radio and make the Billboard gospel/spiritual album charts. Amassing hit album after hit album in the 1980s and 1990s, the Florida Mass Choir took full advantage of this popularity and helped to inspire other cities to organize their own mass choirs.

Africa is where it all began. Of all the lavish gifts Africa has given the world, the richest and most unique combination of music and religion: religion with rhythm. With the first African slaves landing on American shores around 1619 came African rhythm, work songs and field hollers - the basic elements for the spirituals. It is rhythm that drives American music: the spirituals, and by extension gospel, the blues, jazz, ragtime and rock n'roll.
The Gospel Music experience cannot be told in a short story, or even in a one hour melody of songs, for it is far too rich, far too harmonious and deliberately stimulating.  It is a living experience, always changing, always giving, and always becoming the foundation that gave moral, physical and spiritual support to a great and powerful people.
