Music with good gospel choir

This might sound kinda weird, but most of what I say sounds weird so...
I have really gotten into choral music lately. I bought a couple of the Cantus CDs at CES, and I really like them a lot! I have also been listening to Bob Dylan's "Saved" lp for the great backup singers. U2's Rattle and Hum has a great version of "I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with a gospel choir. I have a few other artists an long this vein, such as Babbie Mason. I love it!

Do you know of anything else that might be along the same lines?

Try the Fairfield Four (also from AL I think). There are actually 5 of them. Really cool sounding and allows an excellent assessment of soundstage quality. Best choral music I own. Arthur

HOw about Ladysmith Black Mombazo, South African male vocal group with several albums, who backed Paul Simon on Graceland. If you ever get a chance to hear them sing, do not miss it. An experience that cannot be described. Also how about the Persuasions, a capella male vocal group.

I highly recommend Fairfield Four's "Standing in the Safety Zone". Especially the song "Roll Jordan Roll" which they sing with the Nashville Bluegrass Band. Great fidelity too.

Try ARC Choir (Addicts recovery choir) from Mapleshade. Also, Psalms from Turtle Creek Chorale (ReferenceRecordings). I especially recommend the Mapleshade cd.

I have to second bluenose's suggestion on the Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama. This is an excellent recording that has found itself in my transport many times already.
