A Gospel Music Tribute to Charles and Frankie Pace
Once believed to be lost, much of Charles Pace's gospel music is being recovered from his printing plates and other items in the Charles and Frankie Pace Collection in the University of Pittsburgh Library System.
Charles and Frankie Pace ran one of the nation’s first and most successful independent Black gospel music publishing businesses out of Pittsburgh’s Hill District from the 1930s to the 1980s. Charles's songs helped define gospel music, and Frankie's efforts to distribute the music to a nationwide network of Black-owned stores helped create the distribution networks that fueled the growth of the genre. Their performances raised thousands of dollars for all sorts of causes, and their store was a base for Frankie’s activism.
