KGOU Celebrates Black Gospel Music

NPR
Cece Winans

June is Black Music History Month, and each Sunday this month KGOU has special programming to celebrate Black gospel music’s profound influence on early rock and soul music.

This month, KGOU will bring you the special series, Gospel Roots of Rock and Soul, hosted by Grammy award-winning gospel singer Cece Winans. The series includes three one-hour documentary programs and a fourth hour of original music highlighting the power and influence of gospel.

So, be listening Sundays at noon during the month of June for Gospel Roots of Rock and Soul, on KGOU. You can also find companion resources about the series on the Sunday Radio Matinee page at kgou.org.

We hope you enjoy this special tribute and great music.

Until next time, with the Manager’s Minute, I’m Dick Pryor.

Dick Pryor has more than 30 years of experience in public service media, having previously served as deputy director, managing editor, news manager, news anchor and host for OETA, Oklahoma’s statewide public TV network. He was named general manager of KGOU Radio in November 2016.
