There was definitely something spiritually different with the old gospel. Some recent ones too have the same internal impact as well but you just can't beat old wine. Preference too counts. Preference simulated a certain spirituality known to individual persons. That can make you think one is better than the other at times.
God bless you woman of GOD. Our generation singers have failed God therefore the Hoy Spirit cannot give them DIVINE songs to sing for Him. Selfish ambitions has stolen Christ from them. Your songs were downloaded from God. God bless you .
