A Taste of Heaven: The Ecstatic Song & Gospel of Maestro Raymond Anthony Myles

Maestro Raymond Myles was the electrifying Gospel Genius of New Orleans. But he was more than a maverick musician. He was also highly representative of a vital yet scorned minority within the Black Church: a queer man who struggled with a dogma that said God’s love does not apply to you. Like a comet shooting across the sky, Raymond was here one minute—brilliant, incandescent, unmistakably unique. And then, just as quickly, he was gone.
