Founded in 1985 and based in New Haven, CT, the Salt & Pepper Gospel Singers are a non-denominational, interracial choir under the direction of Ronald Pollard. They have performed in prisons, elderly housing facilities, churches, soup kitchens, rehabilitation facilities, and schools, as well as on the stages of celebrated theaters such as Alice Tulley Hall at Lincoln Center, the Apollo Theater, NBC's Today Show, Yale's Theological Seminary, and the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1992, New York independent film-maker Gary Keys made a documentary film entitled Not Just Good Time Sunday about the choir.

The Salt & Pepper Gospel singers began when Mae Gibson-Brown, mother of the group's original director Chuck Brown, sang at a potluck at the school in Branford, CT, where she taught. Another teacher, Sheila Dietz-Bonenberger, approached her to ask if she thought white people could learn to sing Black gospel music.
