• Track Listing

This new album from Mahalia Jackson does not include any Gospel Songs, but rather songs of love and faith made sublime by the magnificent interpretation of one of the greatest American vocalists of the 20th century. The complete Mahalia Jackson recordings (presented chronologically as in the Sister Rosetta Tharpe series) reveal a personality that will remain one of the greatest-ever Gospel artists, and a singer who filled 20th century Afro-American culture with inspiration. The source of this vital music is the collection of Jean Buzelin, the author of this anthology, together with the aid of collectors of Mahalia Jackson's work; all these recordings have been restored with the best analog transfers and most sophisticated technology available, to avoid any alteration of the original sound.
