Mahalia Jackson
Born into poverty in New Orleans and the granddaughter of enslaved people, Mahalia Jackson became the most influential gospel vocalist of the twentieth century, selling more than twenty-two million records. Her 1947 recording of "Move On Up a Little Higher" hit number two on the Billboard charts, the first gospel record to do so, and she became the first gospel artist to headline Carnegie Hall and tour Europe. A trusted friend of Martin Luther King Jr., she sang "I've Been 'Buked and I've Been Scorned" at the March on Washington and it was she who called out to him from the crowd, "Tell them about the dream, Martin!"
“Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul.”
