With the camp meetings songs of the Kentucky Revival and the spirituals and hymns that stemmed from the Civil War and beyond, gospel music grew through the nineteenth century and expanded through new technologies in the twentieth century.Cusic, Don is the author of 'Sound of Light A History of Gospel Music' with ISBN 9780879724986 and ISBN 0879724986.
