Lost Spirituals (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lost Spirituals Southern Negro is intensely religious, and possibly all his emotions have their origin in religious fervor; but the Negro would be the last to characterize all his songs as chu'ch music, although many approaching the ribald are lustily sung at religious meetings, in church, at funerals, and upon other occasions of great solemnity. The term spirituals, then, properly describes nearly all Negro songs that are fit to print. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
