Like his cousin DeLois Barrett Campbell, Ron “Everybody’s Uncle” Barrett is one of Chicago’s go-to traditional gospel singers. Whether for a funeral, anniversary or church celebration, when a group needs someone to present a gospel song in the old-fashioned way, Stellar Award nominee Ron is the guy to call.
“Jesus Christ,” from Ron’s 2008 It’s the Grace of God Keeping Me, is a call-and-response number with a choir. It’s retelling of Jesus’ life in folk-song couplets make it a perfect piece for a youth group to sing at Christmas and Easter. The beat and harmony have a distinctly African feel but the instrumentation is decidedly contemporary gospel.
