Divine Chord Gospel Show: Philadelphia Gospel Focus
02.24.24

A series of monthly radio shows on dublab.com, dedicated to gospel soul, funk and spirituals from the 1960s thru to the 1980s. The Divine Chord Gospel Show branches out into gospel influenced cuts and artists that crossed over to performing secular cuts too; so plenty of rarities all played from original vinyl, either on 45 or LP format.
For the first time in years, here at DCGS towers, we’re turning a complete show over to focus on a particular subset of Gospel music. This time, it’s a geographical feature, showcasing the vintage music created & located in the wonderful city of Philly. And what better person to have than invite one of the cities favorite sons in preserving its music to provide the audio goods;
