Favorite religious song


Tons of choices; reggae, bluegrass, classical, country, hymns. 

Not so much jazz...though I do love Pete Fountain's " A Closer Walk With Thee"

My choice is sorta religious. "Mercy" Mary Gauthier.

I am not religious at all.

Although I am not averse to religious music, per se, the only sort of religious music I can listen to, for purely musical reasons, are Indian devotionals, called Bhajan.

Thanks very much  for the very good link to this sitarist unknown to me...A discovery....an exquisite interepretation...

I like bhajans too  but now it is a raag or raga... 😁😊

Have you a favorite bhajan singer?

The greatest American voice? No...

One of the greatest voice in the world...

Even Stokowski is mesmerized...

But too poor to study music in " free" america she sang mostly in recitals around the world and in Us...

His interpretation of "crucifixion" or "deep river" even rival anything else in Jazz and negro-spiritual by anyone...

His interpretation of any lieds is one of a kind ,beside any other european voice... Try her...

A underestimated genius ....

She was black...

The only voice rivaling Kathleen Ferrier or Billie Holiday  in the same register...And i remind you that she can sing ANYTHING in any style...No other voice can do that...

Sibelius say after listening to her : "Mrs you are too great for my house"....

She can sing ANYTHING better that all others interprteters : jazz, spirituals, lieds, opera...

His version of Brahms is unrivaled by his powerful expression ...
