years ago I worked with a guy , a Christian, how would put up with abuse. when it got to bad he would sit in his truck and read his Bible. I admired him even though I am an atheist and when he retired I bought him a retirement present of a silly card and a tape of Miss Jackson's songs. I will never forget get the look on his face when I gave him the present. Oh , and I was not one of those who gave him a hard time about his faith. I figured that if it gave him comfort then that was all right.

I will say this and I know some people will object to my response, but you know what? I really don't care. Lol! Anyway, I know several people who are Atheists & in my opinion, many of them are much more pleasant than the ones who say they follow Christ. REAL Atheists don't go around showboating how they don't believe in God, and they don't give others a hard time about their beliefs. They are open-minded and respect people for who they are. Thanks so much for your reply! Take care of yourself!

I hope I can find her CDs although they are old. :)

Of all Gospel singers, old and new, you are SURE to find Mahalia Jackson's music. Even 40 years after her death, she's one of the most loved people that has ever graced the music field. BestBuy usually carries a good bit of her stuff. You'll also be able to find things online.

She wasn't about religion, she was about following Christ and listening to God for direction, which in turn gave her the gift to help others seek God through the joy she gave in her music and lyrics. I Love Mahalia Jackson from way back in the days of the Maranatha Church in Portland, Oregon.

Man, this is just amazing! I´m not really into religion, but I gotta say I love to listen to this american gospel music. It´s just so heavy in a good way, there´s so much passion, so much feeling, I just love it!

Mahalia Jackson has a beautiful voice. What makes her stand apart from others she sings in the Spirit of the Lord.
