edit: I listen to a lot of old soul, like, quite a bit, as a matter of fact if any nyc okp folks know of a night, let me know.

Ray Charles and others taking Gospel songs and reworking the lyrics to tackle secular subjects.

Sam Cooke was Aretha's mentor.
His first "secular" song was a song called "Lovable", which was originally a gospel
song called "Wonderful".
Wonderful lyrics: "Wonderful. God is so wonderful"
Lovable lyrics: "Lovable. My Girl is so lovable"
Exact same melody... just different words.
He was performing as a traveling gospel singer at the time. When the church folks
heard "Lovable" on the radio, they protesting in the congregation while he was singing "Wonderful".
That's when he made his final decision to crossover completely.
But don't believe me, just watch...

If you're passively listening, you hear all of the sounds & trends of contemporary R&B and hip-hop music. But pay a little closer attention and that bump & grind groove or autotuned jam is for His glory.
12781049, btw, there's a segment of House full of tracks like this.
