Mahalia Jackson Gospels Spirituals & Hymns 2 CD box set

RARE This is a sealed LONG BOX VERSION 2-CD set WITH BOOKLET, released & remastered in 1991. This collection consists of 36 Columbia recordings songs of Mahalia Jackson, the world's greatest gospel singer. Jackson wasn't just gospel music's first international superstar--she was among its earliest adherents and inventors. Working with the great composer and former blues singer Thomas A. Dorsey in the late 1930s, Jackson gave a distinctly blues-trained, jazzy sass and grace to Dorsey's material and the other hymns and spirituals she sang. More than any other performer, she helped to define gospel music itself as a transcendent, rootsy, melismatic, and heady spiritual sound. No Poshmark account?
