The Gospel Music Workshop Of America Mass Choir

The Gospel Music Workshop Of America was organized in 1967 under the direction of Rev. James Cleveland who remained its president for over 20 years. Beginning in the early 1970s, recordings from the annual meetings were released every year showcasing new songwriting and vocal talent with the backing of a 1000+ person "mass choir". Chapters of the organization sprang up all over the U.S. and some abroad, many of which produced their own recordings. These chapters include: The Baltimore, Md.
