What african american gospel songs have a good flute part to it?

Question by Brittany: What african american gospel songs have a good flute part to it?

Best answer:

Answer by mamianka
The tradition of African-American gospel music doe not include the flute. A capella, and organ (Hammond B3, in later years) long before praise bands tarted up the true gospel sound with all kinds of instrumental lunacy. So if you find any gospel music with a flute part, it is a descant written in modern times – kinda like adding flipflops to an Elizabethan court gown.
