Washington, D.C. — “For 30 years this fall — an eternity in television — Bobby Jones and his Sunday variety show have been offering up a mix of church talk and full-throated gospel music, alive with big choirs in big robes swaying.”
Additionally, “Jones’s role has become even more important as the debate rages over contemporary gospel, some of which incorporates hip-hop beats, rap and less modest singing attire. But Jones says contemporary gospel needs to be respected. Gospel music has always evolved to meet the needs of people, he says. ‘These kids coming up today, singing contemporary, have no idea what we experienced,’ Jones says. ‘Their songs are more about praising God. The traditional songs were more about oppression and depression. But everything must change. It’s the same thing with music.’ ”
