Editorial Reviews

For Most People Mahalia Jackson Remains the Definitive Exponent of Gospel Music; She was the Vocal, Physical and Spiritual Symbol of Gospel Music. Poised Behind her Microphone Stand, Mahalia Fired her Big, Well-rounded Contralto Notes Into the World's Most Renowned Concert Halls, from New York' S Carnegie Hall, Via London's Royal Albert Hall to Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. Standing Four Square and Flat Footed, Hands Clasped Over her Abdomen, Mahalia Never Failed to Raise the Roof with her Soul, Grace and Compassion. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mahalia's early recordings, October 13, 2006

This is a nice overlook about the singers's earlier important recordings for the Decca and Apollo label, even the first songs for the Columbia Records.
Sound is in common not bad until it comes to the 'Columbia-Era' the not digital reissued songs 'You'll never walk alone'and 'Joshua fit the battle of Jericho'. You can hear how the restaured songs differ from the original sound recordings if you had heard them before, but anyway a nice collection.
A nice made booklet with discographical information and photos is included so a precious project for lovers of the subject.

This collection is the best memory of our time during J.F.K and Dr Martin Luther King; the real fight for living freedom and justice for everyone, if he is black, brown, and beige, as Duke Ellington had been composed. Mahalia sings her Gospelmusic with whole her heart. I'm always listening with pleasure!
