Ah! I agree and disagree with this list oo. Almost perfect, but no other musicians. I will come back to read more comments.
ReplyDeleteThere are names I expected to be there such as one guy called 'sonething Praise'
ReplyDeleteSammy Oposo, Frank Edwards, This female gospel singer that has been there for a while, she sings in yoruba.
What qualifies one to be among the top? Because in my opinion, the top names are not even here.
ReplyDeleteThe likes of Tope Alabi, Mercy Chinwo etc
Collating Africa's top Gospel Artist would definitely be challenging. There are too many Gospel Ministers with powerful influence through Music but I feel I agree with this list until somewhere around 4 - 6. (Frank Edward and Nkozolo) could also make the list
ReplyDeleteKudos to the Team or individual who collated this
This list is not convincing Frank Edward supposed to be in top 3 mercy chinwo also is not there
