He's Got The Whole World In His Hands by On Being Studios published on 2014-02-03T21:19:36Z About 5,000 spirituals, which are distinguished from gospel songs in part because their authors are unknown, are known to exist today. Those songs, Carter says, played a large part in shaping American music of all genres in the 20th century. Each module below includes Carter's commentary on each spiritual, his performances, and the performances of other musicians' renditions of that same song.
