Biography
Regarded as the greatest gospel singer of all time, Mahalia Jackson's influence continues to transcend generations with her expressive contralto voice and innovative blending of blues into gospel music. Born in New Orleans in 1911, Jackson's career took off in Chicago in the late 1920s, where she made history as the first gospel artist signed to Decca Records. Her monumental success with the hit "Move on Up a Little Higher" in 1948 catapulted her to superstardom, leading to worldwide recognition and acclaim.
Jackson's groundbreaking achievements extended beyond music, as she hosted the first national pure gospel radio series on CBS and became a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement, performing at significant events such as John F.
