@Joagbaje
Whilst you are waiting for the answer to your question perhaps you can answer one as well. Why do Christ embassy pastors stage fake miracles?

LoL at Pastor Kun,
Man must chop!

I think you meant Black Baptists. The "American" baptists or white baptists or officially the Southern Baptists are nothing like the black baptists (or black preachers in general) in terms of emotional display. If anything, the pastors and their services are very boring. They generally do not sing while preaching.

Yes that's what I meant , thanks

OK. To answer your question directly, black singing or music is interwoven with the slavery experience. Music is one of the few things slaves were free to do (I think Bible reading was another one) and it kept them sane. The linked video is inspiring:

"Amazing Grace, by Wintley Phipps
At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, "A lot of people don't realize that just about all Negro spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano. Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow chant. And it has a haunting, haunting plaintive quality to it that reaches past your arrogance, past your pride, and it speaks to that part of you that's in bondage. And we feel it. We feel it. It's just one of the most amazing melodies in all of human history." After sharing the noteworthy history of the song, Mr. Phipps delivers a stirring performance that brings the audience to its feet!"

i think it has a lot to do with the emotions. The black baptists are reaching out to a people with whom they share a common heritage.
@pastor j.You did'nt say anything about atlantis again.
