Oh magnificent Metafilter, please provide me with more music!
I really, really, really love the reprise of Mama Who Bore me(crappy video, but you get the idea) from Spring Awakening. It's sorta... jazzed-up gospel, with some great harmonies. Where can I find more music like that? Specific group/album names are love. Bonus points if it's easily findable online. (And I mean legitimately.)
The lyrics are less important, but I also do like how MWBM is rather... sacrilicious. But ya can't have everything.

Not so jazzy, but the Blind Boys of Alabama might be up your alley.

I'd recommend Howe Gelb's Sno Angel Like You (samples online) to anyone who likes gospel.
With Gelb's usual lo-fi desert guitars and Arcade Fire's Jeremy Gara on drums, it's a different take, but the performances are sublime, and the singing ranges from warm blanketing whispers to exhausting highs.

Crap, exalting (though potentially exhausting, though likely more inspiring...crap).

She's a bit more bluesy, but you could try Ruthie Foster. Travellin' Shoes has become one of my favourite songs.
