According to an article in the Sun News, gospel music artist Dorothy Norwood said that some record companies forbid gospel artists to use the name of God on their tracks. She said that is not the kind of company she would want to be affiliated with.
Good for her. All gospel artists should have that kind of conviction. If you are going to be called a gospel artist, you have to walk the talk.
Here is more of what the gospel music legend had to say:
Gospel has really grown by leaps and bounds,” Norwood said. “Gospel isn’t going nowhere.” Some gospel lovers believe contemporary gospel is too secular, but Norwood said she believes contemporary gospel has its place.
“I always tell people there are different strokes for different folks,” Norwood said. “I don’t have anything against contemporary gospel music, although I don’t sing it. However, there is some of it that you have to stop listening and wonder if it’s really gospel music.”
Dorothy Norwood will be in concert on Saturday along with The McDonald Sisters. It will be held February 28th at the Mason Temple Church of God in Christ in Conway, NC. There is no cost and you can contact Reggie Dyson at 340-7927 or 450-3091 for more info. ~ Dominique www.1800gospel.com
