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.

What about any of Don Potter’s music or his friend Leonard Jones?

They did some genuinely great stuff at Morningstar together and their individual solo stuff was awesome too.

Forget whatever else you’ve read on this blog post written by whoever...

 

Mahalia Jackson & Duke Ellington - "Come Sunday". Without a doubt the best Christian recording ever made in the history of the planet! Hands down. End of story.

 

In the words of Little Richard: "Shut-up!"

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 ...
