(Fake Book). Gospel's Greatest Fake Book comes with a vast collection of Gospel songs and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used "fake books" for their nightly gigs. These books contained basic melodies or chords the cliff notes of full compositions enough for musicians to "fake" their way through a song. Gospel's Greatest Fake Book continues that tradition and contains only those essential elements: melody, lyrics, and chords for each song. This book is written for piano, vocal, guitar, electronic keyboard, and all C instruments. It is bound with a plastic comb so it can lay flat on your music stand.
