Mahalia Jackson - Spirit Of Christmas (LP)
Mahalia Jackson declaims Christmas like a pastor, giving every word meaning like a poet, singing as if supported by an inner choir of trumpeting angels. Possessing a powerful contralto voice, she was referred to as "The Queen of Gospel" and became one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and was heralded internationally as a singer and civil rights activist. If you prefer your Christmas songs performed with reverence and tradition, you know Mahalia Jackson will deliver on both counts. The true meaning of the season truly reverberates in each and every word that comes from this gospel legend's lips in this collection of Christmas favorites like “No Room At The Inn”, “Joy To The World”, “Silent Night, Holy Night” and “The Holy Babe.”
