GOSPEL to me is Elvis Presley singing How Great Thou Art, Mahalia Jackson, Mississippi Gospel Choir and many others that sing directly in praise of the Lord Jesus Christ,,,in my humble opinion !

Talk about the beatles & other backward maskers - Who would have thought that such an innocent sounding tune like 'Welcome to the hotel california' has a backward message "Shake hands with the devil, he blah-blah", or "Obladi-bladah life goes on blahh" has a seriously satanic message when flipped over.
There really is no gray area, either they're for or against it.
We can therefore conclude that ALL MUSIC IS GOSPEL MUSIC. The message behind it whether ironically, sarcastically or sincerely conveyed in turn, determines WHICH KINGDOM'S GOSPEL (Heaven or hell) is being preached.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
