"I Am Born to Preach the Gospel" is a gospel song recorded in 1928 by Washington Phillips (18801954; vocals and zither) in gospel blues style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=wirz.de )〕 His recording is included in the soundtrack of the 2009 movie ''My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?''. In some other recordings, the song is titled "I Was Born to Sing the Gospel". The words "I Am" or "I Was" are sometimes omitted from those titles. The song is likely to have been written by Phillips: it is concerned with a similar subject to his 1927 song Denomination Blues, and has lyrical resemblances to it, including the striking phrase "educated fool". The singer compares his own experience:〔 with that of educated preachers; and with that of Nicodemus, who according to the Gospel of John at 3:1-21 was a ruler of the Jews who visited Jesus by night to learn from Him. == Recordings and performances == * 1928Washington Phillips, 78prm single Columbia 14448-D 〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=78discography.com )〕 * 1988Marion Williams, "Born to Sing the Gospel" on the album ''Born to Sing the Gospel'' * 1994Aretha Franklin, "I Was Born to Sing the Gospel" broadcast performance from the White House * 1995Michael Hakanson-Stacy, "Born to Preach the Gospel" on the album ''Pearls & Stones'' * 2013Michael Roe, digital download 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=I Am Born To Preach The Gospel (digital bonus track), from We All Gonna Face The Rising Sun by Michael Roe )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Am Born to Preach the Gospel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
