Season 3 - Episode 2: Gospel

In this episode of Start Here, Alexis Ffrench explores the rich history, spiritual power and enduring influence of Gospel music with celebrated broadcaster, singer and actress Jumoke Fashola.


Together, they unpack gospel’s roots in African musical traditions, folk song, hymnody and the African American church, tracing how the genre became a vital force in community, worship and musical expression. They discuss gospel’s unique musical language, from call and response to improvisation, and reflect on its deep connection to service, praise and human experience.


The conversation also explores gospel’s influence on artists across soul, pop, rock and R&B, and highlights some of the key figures who shaped the genre, including Thomas Dorsey, Mahalia Jackson, James Cleveland, Aretha Franklin, André Crouch and Kirk Franklin.


Whether you know gospel well or are discovering it for the first time, this is a moving and insightful introduction to one of music’s most powerful and influential genres.
