Television appearances from throughout the decades capture artists performing for audiences of millions — often in unusual settings, with house bands, on chat shows, or as part of variety specials that seem surreal by modern standards. The rarest TV clips are from regional broadcasts, international shows, and programmes that were never repeated or archived.
Thomas Andrew Dorsey was an American musician, composer, and Christian evangelist influential in the development of early blues and 20th-century gospel music. He penned 3,000 songs, a third of them gospel, including "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" and "Peace in the Valley". Recordings of these sold millions of copies in both gospel and secular markets in the 20th century.
