Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.

Gospel music rhythms are not African in origin, although I know that's what the jazz experts say.

When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.

Put your mind on the gospel. And remember - there's one God for all.

When you sing gospel you have a feeling there is a cure for what's wrong.

Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help.
