Ian,

Aretha is a pretty good starting point. You may or may not know that her father was a Minister and she started singing in his Church. What a voice.

Some of the best Bluegrass is Gospel. The Stanley Brothers Complete Columbia Recordings has many gospel tunes on it. You'll be hard pressed to find better harmonies than Carter & Ralph together.

I'm glad you're enjoying WTCBU. Some wonderful performances on that.
