Gospel music is a kind of music classification under Christian music. Its sub-classification would include urban contemporary gospel (or black gospel), contemporary gospel, Southern gospel, and modern gospel music (presently called worship or praise music, or simply contemporary Christian music). Gospel music is mainly performed for ceremonial or religious reasons, but sometimes it could be for entertainment or aesthetic pleasure.

The term ?gospel song" allegedly first appeared in the 19th century with Philip Bliss’s release of the songbook, “Gospel Songs. A Choice Collection of Hymns and Tunes.” The gospel music style itself has deep roots that go as far back as the 17th century with the African American oral tradition.

Gospel music is defined generally by the strong use of harmony accompanied with dominant vocals. Most churches used hand clapping as well as foot stomping for rhythmic accompaniment to the songs. As decades progressed, gospel music has been performed with varied instruments, such as organ, guitar, piano, drum bass guitar, tambourines , and electric guitar. Gospel music usually have refrains and syncopated rhythms.

Pentecostal churches made a considerable adoption and contribution to the gospel music scene in the early 20th century. Renowned 20th century musicians like Jerry Lee Lewis, Andrae Crouch, Mahalia Jackson, the Blackwood Brothers, and Elvis Presley have been either brought up in a Pentecostal environment or admitted being influence of the gospel tradition.
