As increasing numbers of African-Americans converted to Christianity during the Second Great Awakening, they brought into the church musical forms like chants and spirituals. These would later blend with folk music and jazz to create gospel, a uniquely American music firmly grounded in evangelism. Say Amen, Somebody is an exuberant documentary about gospel music featuring Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith and Professor Thomas A. Dorsey, who truly know the meaning of making a «joyful noise.»
