Best Answer

If one means African American gospel, then it obviously started with them - being a mixture of western and African music.

If by contemporary Gospel Music you just mean modern christian music, it might be interesting to know that Martin Luther took a song that was sang in pubs and wrote christian words for that. If I remember correctly it is "A mighty fortress is our God".
