Susan, "There Is A Balm In Gilead" is a great addition to this thread.

The reason why I like adding lyrics and sound clips/videos is because there are often several songs with the same title or similar titles and the sound clips/videos enable folks to hear the songs.

For instance, "There Is A Balm In Gilead" is the title of an African American spiritual and it's part of the title of a contemporary gospel by the well known Clark Sisters.


Here's a short video of that traditional African American spiritual:

And here's a video of the contemporary gospel song:
