...During the folk boom, each Odetta gig, in coffeehouse or concert hall, was a master class of work songs, folk songs, church songs, and an eloquent tutorial in raw American history. Identifiable from the first syllable, her voice fused the thrill of gospel, the techniques of art song - the wisdom that subtlety sometimes trumps volume - and the desperate wail of blues. If a line could be drawn from Bessie Smith to Janis Joplin, from Mahalia Jackson to Maria Callas, it would have to go through Odetta...
...There are services for a large number of traditions on base throughout the weekend at both Memorial Chapel and the Old Post Chapel. On Sundays at noon there is a gospel service that precedes Sunday school. "There are always a lot of military kids who live on base," says McAfee.

...attempt at a heart-felt ballad on “Keep Going” that proves he should stick to producing club hits and respecting the power of Auto-Tune. His second rapping track “Karaoke” features the cool and haunting background vocals of a gospel choir, but is butchered by the inexplicable and crazy yelling of DJ Khaled. “Thr33 Ringz” starts off with potential but quickly slides into a complacent reliance on the same synth-infused beats that bring nothing new to the game that T-Pain once reinvented.
