GOSPEL CHRISTMAS

Mahalia Jackson is considered the greatest gospel singer of all time
Her aim was to proclaim God's word through song. She ushered in the golden age of gospel between 1945 and 1965. Jackson was the first female gospel artist to tour Europe. She appeared regularly on television and radio programs and sang for many presidents and heads of state, including the national anthem at John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961. She enjoyed great success at a time when racial segregation was pervasive in American society. She sold she sold an estimated 22 million records, but still had problems hailing a cab or simply being able to buy anything in the stores. Her gospel rendition of "Silent Night" remains one of the most soulful and evocative versions of the famous Christmas carol. The album of the same name Album is still a classic today and remains unsurpassed.
