David Leivick and Frederick Ritzenberg's documentary Gospel comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include profiles of the performers, and a scrapbook. This is a decent disc from Monterey Home Video that will appeal mostly to fans of the artists who appear in the movie. Those singers include Shirley Caesar, The Clark Sisters, and Rev. James Cleveland.
