Very probably the most powerful female vocalist ever recorded! Gospel maybe a niche musical genre but all music lovers should be exposed to the thrill of listening to Mahalia Jackson belting out some of the best known Gospel classics. Her delivery is so passionate and the effect so spine-tingling that even devout atheists have become devotee's of Mahalia. Despite the fact she refused to sing anything other than Gospel music her popularity in America never waned and in the 1960's she sang at President John F. Kennedy's inauguration and at Martin Luther King's funeral. As the historian Noel Serrano says "God touched the vocal chords of this great woman and placed a special elixir to sing for his honour and glory".
