Traditional Gospel is essentially Southern in origin and performed by large, soulful choirs, which in themselves are natural extensions of the rehearsed and arranged community choirs of the southern churches. The term is also applied to the material done by smaller gospel vocal quartets who share the same church roots, or lead voice singers, all of whom draw from the same well. The uniting theme is that the material performed is straight out of the churches with little deliberate pop sheen.
