The Best of Mahalia Jackson [1995]

by Mahalia Jackson

Overview

The Best of Mahalia Jackson is a 16-track collection featuring many of Jackson's very best recordings -- "God Put a Rainbow in the Sky," "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," "Walk in Jerusalem," "God is So Good (To Me)," "Just a Little While to Stay Here" -- thereby offering a long overdue single-disc introduction to one of the greatest gospel singers in history. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
