I’m amazed at what I don’t know. I tripped across this song this morning, and it just took me and GRABBED me. Whew…sooooo powerful. And those Muscle Shoals musicians add so much to the song.
The question. IS THIS A GOSPEL SONG…a TRUE GOSPEL SONG?? Because even though it is performed by the incredible Ms. Alicia Keys, and backed up be an awesome Baptist Church choir, it was written by a white man; Bob Dylan, for his “Saved” album released in 1980.
Discuss.
- Pressing On Alicia Keys 5:28
Wow! Yes, sounds like gospel to me from the chords heard at the intro itself. Great song!
Gorgeous! Doesn’t it “count” as Gospel based on the message?
