As a music minister and former SOUTHERN GOSPEL pianist who has travelled, recorded in the studio and live concerts, and even been on stage with Michael W. Smith in a backup choir, I have seen music come full circle. THere has been and will always be a bit of a gap between Traditional and Modern more youthful interpretations of CHRISTIAN music. My dad hated GOSPEL ROCK and Heavy Metal Gospel, such as Stryper, WHITECROSS, etc. Now we have RAP and who knows that the future will bring. Here is the basic thing you have to ask yourself: "Is it Holy Spirit annointed"? Yes, GOD can use anyone's background for HIS purposes. Yes, the talent is out there. Yes, the performance and WOW factor is there. Even Queen put out a magnificent song called JESUS, ELVIS and all country musicians end up recording a GOSPEL track or two. ROCK 'n ROLL artists are known to have a gospel flavored tune in their releases. Grand FUNK RAILROAD re-recorded SOME KIND of WONDERFUL and put JESUS into the mix and now it can be sung by a sunday choir. Even if the artist who wrote and recorded the song is NOT a Christ follower, another singer who is can sing the same song and touch someone's spirit. Kris Kristopherson wrote "WHY me, LORD" but others brought it into the church. Heck, if GOD can use a donkey for HIS purposes, HE can surely use a rapper too! lol
