Review title: excellent
Product review: Maybe Christians thought that the hippies were looking for spiritual nourishment, because there was a wave of "Jesus Rock" in the early 1970s, Godspell, and this musical, salvation.My fellow reviewer has given you the nuts and bolts of Salvation's history, but let's deal with the music. Much gospel of this era was rockified, informed by soul and funk of the era. This= crated a wonderful chemistry that made the inspired material great listening, no matter your religious persuasion.Salvation is no Stax album, but does have its share of funky gospel, and singers informed by soul. This does not dominate the album--there is softer, more pop and theater influenced work, but still plenty of groove to go around. Listen to some of the bass lines here, which could easily function on any deep (or top 40) soul single. 1969 gospel on 1969 popular culture imbued musicianship.I wonder how many DJ's have sampled this.
