“It is easy to be independent when you’ve got money. But to be independent when you haven’t got a thing, that’s the Lord’s test.” 

“I close my eyes when I sing so I can feel the song better.”  

“You’re blessed if you have the strength to work.”


“When you sing gospel you have a feeling there is a cure for what’s wrong.”

“Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.”  


“Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them.”

 

 In Memoriam of the “Queen of Gospel” Mahalia Jackson ( b. October 26, 1911– January 27, 1972)
