Episode #10: Mahalia Jackson: The Queen of Gospel
Featuring: Toni Davis (Host & Storyteller).
Summary
Get ready to be uplifted by the soaring voice that changed gospel music forever. In this episode, we celebrate National Gospel Music Heritage Month, as we journey through the remarkable life of Mahalia Jackson, a New Orleans-born powerhouse who transformed spirituals into a global sensation. From her humble beginnings in a three-room shotgun home packed with family members and a dog, to taking the world’s greatest stages by storm, Mahalia’s story is as inspiring as her voice.
Feel the rhythm of the streets of New Orleans, where jazz and blues echoed—but Mahalia’s heart beat for something divine. Follow her move to Chicago, where her path crossed with Thomas A. Dorsey, the Father of Gospel Music, sparking a musical revolution. We’ll explore how her career catapulted with the hit “Move On Up a Little Higher” and how she broke barriers at Carnegie Hall.
But Mahalia wasn’t just a voice—she was a force for change. We’ll reveal her powerful role in the Civil Rights Movement, singing beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and giving voice to a generation’s fight for equality.
With humor, heart, and a voice from the heavens, Mahalia Jackson didn’t just sing gospel—she lived it. Tune in for a stirring episode about a woman whose voice shook the world.
