Mahalia Jackson is the Queen of Soul, IMO.
I thought Mahalia Jackson was the Queen of Gospel. Pearl Bailey was a great jazz singer too.
“Mahalia Jackson is the Queen of Soul, IMO.”
Mahalia has a special place in my heart. I’ve got two CD’s and I think COME TO JESUS, DIDN’T IT RAIN? and JESUS IS WITH ME are my favorites.
I like something a little more current, Mahalia Barnes, especially if Joe Bonamassa is standing next to her.
