| | Cajun Music |
| | The later 1950s was another bust time for older styles of Cajun music, as producers moved on to record swamp-pop music, rock and roll performed in many cases by the sons of Cajun musicians. | | | The 1940s and early 1950s were a time of renewal for Cajun music, and a time when the accordion began to dominate once again. | | | Big brother fiddle was with the Acadians in Canada, and its music was the base of the Cajun sound. |

| | Gospel music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Gospel artists, who had been influenced by pop music trends for years, had a major influence on early rhythm and blues artists, particularly the "bird groups" such as the Orioles, the Ravens and the Flamingos, who applied gospel quartets' a cappella techniques to pop songs in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. | | | Gospel music may refer either to the religious music that first came out of African-American churches in the 1930's or, more loosely, to both black gospel music and to the religious music composed and sung by white southern Christian artists. | | | Gospel music has responded by focusing more on its alternative message, the necessity for individual salvation, while substituting the institution of the choir for the masked political commentary of older songs. |
