Movie Description
THE GOSPEL LIVE: Hosted by Anthony Anderson (BARBERSHOP, HUSTLE & FLOW), this event was a monumental occasion in Gospel music, with a collection of superstars delivering their greatest hits. The urge to move is irresistible with Grammy winner Hezekiah Walker, and Grammy-nominated Deitrick Haddon on the mic. Mary Mary, Kelly Price, KiKi Sheard, Micah Stampley, and Martha Munizzi also lend their voices to the air of joy and inspiration that was created this night.


THE GOSPEL: R&B star David Taylor's (Boris Kodjoe) life at the top of the entertainment industry screeches to a halt when a heavy dose of reality hits him hard in director Rod Hardy's THE GOSPEL. While enjoying the familiar trappings that success brings, David suddenly discovers that his estranged father, Pastor Fred Taylor (Clifton Powell), has fallen ill. Father and son haven't spoken since David's mother died, but when he hears the news, the singing star cancels a tour and returns to Atlanta to see his dad. After Fred dies, it's assumed that David's old school friend, Frank (Idris Elba), who remained faithful to the church while his buddy sought fame and fortune, will take over as pastor. But in a surprising move, it transpires that Fred's last wish was for his son to assume the role. This causes acrimony among members of the church, who are angry that such a highly coveted position is being handed to someone who has lived a life of sin. David responds by bringing some Hollywood glitz to the church, and assumes the position with a vigor that rocks the community. But on rediscovering his faith, and possibly finding true love with choir singer Rain (AMERICAN IDOL's Tamyra Gray), it seems he may turn his back on his old ways for good, much to the consternation of his manager, Wesley (Omar Gooding).
