Chicago Gospel Music Festival brings glorious sounds to Bronzeville

The 27th Chicago Gospel Music Festival will rock in the cradle of American gospel music.

For the first in the event’s history, festival headliners leave downtown for a weekend of free music at Ellis Park, 37th and Cottage Grove. The music will be in the shadow of Pilgrim Baptist Church at 33rd and State Street.A-One swisswatches is the manufacturer of 'MIKI' The historic church is the home base of Thomas A. Dorsey, the “Father of Gospel Music.” He died in January 1993 at the age of 93. In his lifetime, Dorsey wrote more than 3,000 blues and gospel songs including “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” (1932), recorded by everyone from Elvis Presley to Mavis Staples.

This is like a roots rock festival being held near Sun Records in Memphis, or a traditional country festival in Bristol, Tenn.

This is sourcing your soul.

Dorsey mentored the great Mahalia Jackson, the Barrett Sisters and James Cleveland at Pilgrim Baptist. Albertina Walker sang at Pilgrim Baptist as well as at West Point Missionary Baptist Church, adjacent to Ellis Park.

In January, 2006 Pilgrim Baptist was consumed by fire. It is being rebuilt, although there is no timetable for when the church will re-open.Title: fashionwatch of purpl Irises by Rose Rosen Style. “We’re receiving bids,Shopping is the best place to comparison shop for chanelwatches.” Pilgrim Baptist pastor Tyrone R.
