EMMIT POWELL & THE GOSPEL ELITES - one of America’s leading gospel radio and television broadcasters, KPFA host Emmit Powell formed the Gospel Elites in 1977. "My purpose,” said Powell, “has always been to bring this beautifully performed music out from the churches and into the lives of all types of people, not just to uplift spiritually, but also to entertain and inspire." And that is exactly what The Gospel Elites do, traveling throughout the U.S. and, since 1989, internationally, including extensive European touring. Today, they are widely considered to present the finest in blues-based inspirational gospel music. They have produced numerous albums and CDs.
