Mahalia Jackson
Mahalia Jackson (/məˈheɪljə/ mə-HAYL-yə; October 26, 1911 – January 27, 1972) was an American gospel singer. Possessing a powerful contralto voice, she was referred to as "The Queen of Gospel". She became one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and was heralded internationally as a singer and civil rights activist. She was described by entertainer Harry Belafonte as "the single most powerful black woman in the United States". She recorded about 30 albums (mostly for Columbia Records) during her career, and her 45 rpm records included a dozen "golds"—million-sellers.
"I sing God's music because it makes me feel free", Jackson once said about her choice of gospel, adding, "It gives me hope. With the blues, when you finish, you still have the blues."

Famous quotes by Mahalia Jackson:
"Someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place."
"It's easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing -- that's the Lord's test."
"God can make you anything you want to be, but you have to put everything in his hands."
"Time is important to me because I want to sing long enough to leave a message. I'm used to singing in churches where nobody would dare stop me until the Lord arrives!"
"Anybody that sings the blues is in a deep pit, yelling for help."
"This is the place to see the stars - Hollywood Bowl."
"Do you know most of the Jewish songs have the same trend of sadness as Negro spirituals?"
"Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them."
"How can you sing of amazing grace and all God's wonders without using your hands?"
"I'll come to any benefit if I see SCLC get all the money."
"One thing about playing the real jazz is that you can't count it."
"The trouble with records is that they're too short."
"Without a song, each day would be a century."
"It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test."
"I close my eyes when I sing so I can feel the song better."
"My hands, my feet, I throw my whole body to say all that is within me."
"Everybody needs somebody."

Come On Children Let's Sing
by: Mahalia JacksonCome on children, let's sing
About the goodness of the Lord
Come on children, let's shout
All about God's great (rich) reward
Guide our footsteps everyday
Keeps us in this narrow way
Come on children let sing
(Come on children, let's shout)
(How the Lord Almighty)
(Has brought us out)
(There's none like him)
(Without a doubt)
Come on children, let's sing
About the goodness of the Lord
He has been my all an' all
He will never let me fall
That is why I can sing
That is why I can shout
Because I know what it's all about
The goodness, goodness
Of the Lord, the Lord, the Lord
