Album Description

Born in New Orleans, the home of blues and Dixieland music, Mahalia Jackson heard only sacred music at home. Further inspired by the music of Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, Jackson was to become the greatest gospel singer ever. These two albums, originally released by Columbia in the early 1960s, feature Jackson backed by the Falls-Webb ensemble (on "Come On Children...") and the orchestra and chorus of Johnny Williams (on "Great Songs..."). In 1962, Mahalia Jackson was awarded a Grammy in the Sacred/Inspirational/Religious category for the "Great Songs Of Love And Faith" album.

New frontiers.......2004-11-11

I find no inconsistency with Mahalia's music whether with full orchestra or just the gospel backing. Her voice is magnificent in both albums. "Great Songs of Love and Faith" is well-done. She is in excellent voice. It is unfair to put Mahalia on a shelf and disregard the diversity of her recording efforts. No, this one is not gospel but, as the title indicates, it is faithful to her convictions. This album won an award (gold) at its time. Before her death, Mahalia planned to record the music of Israel and Hawaii also. Too bad she didn't live long enough. I love this CD and encourage anyone who loves this person to buy it and listen to great music. These are grand old favorites with the implicit Jacksonian touch.

Pretty nice.......2004-09-15

Yes, COME ON CHILDREN, LET'S SING is an awesome album alone. I would agree that the pairing with GREAT SONGS OF LOVE AND FAITH is weird, but I'm glad that they were included together. It proves to the listener that Mahalia Jackson could do more than just yell, scream, and holler, like many feel that she does. Mahalia could handle it all. So this pairing shows the 'churchy' side of Mahalia and the romantic, operatic side of Mahalia, which still remains Christian.

I'm not too fond of GREAT SONGS OF LOVE AND FAITH, but several of the selections really minister to me. Songs like "My Friend," "I've Done My Work," "That's America To Me," and "The Green Leaves of Summer" are, in my opinion, the four best songs on that album. When I hear Mahalia sing "My Friend," it brings tears to my eyes. Such a blessed, angelic voice! Mahalia doesn't sound uncomfortable on GREAT SONGS OF LOVE & FAITH- it's just a new sound that many haven't been introduced to!

An odd pairing........2004-05-26

The 1960 release of "Come On Children, Let's Sing" would be a 5-star rating by itself, since it is a Gospel recording true to Ms. Jackson's tradition. Songs like "One Step", "The Christian's Testimony" and Tom Dorsey's "If We Ever Needed The Lord Before" are landmarks of the Christian Faith. The style of Mahalia's singing here is consistant with her earlier recordings for Apollo Records and she is backed by her regular pianist Mildred Falls along with Willie Webb (Roberta Martin Singers) on organ and a righteous rhythm section of James Rainey (guitar), Aaron Bell (bass) and Osie Johnson (drums). But here's where the fun ends. "Songs of Love And Faith" is a typical left curve Columbia Records was famous for throwing. Although Mahalia tackles the god-awful material like a pro (eg. Dinah Washington, Billie Holliday), it is clear she is not comfortable with it. Why Collectibles didn't pair up "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'" or "Make A Joyful Noise" with the first album, is beyond belief.

Awesome stuff!!.......2001-07-18

Sista Monica can do old time gospel like no one else. This is a fantastic cd and I highly reccomend it to everyone.

Pure Joy.......2001-07-04

Album feels like it was pure joy for singers, musicians and studio to produce. One gets the sense it was a tribute to the songs Sista Monica grew up with and wanted to recreate, as a rememberance to her roots.

Album Details

General Critical Consensus Holds Mahalia Jackson as the Greatest Gospel Singer Ever to Live; A Major Crossover Success Whose Popularity Extended Across Racial Divides, She was Gospel's First Superstar, and Even Decades after her Death Remains for Many Listeners a Defining Symbol of the Music's Transcendent Power. With her Singularly Expressive Contralto, Jackson Continues to Inspire the Generations of Vocalists which Follow in her Wake; Among the First Spiritual Performers to Introduce Elements of Blues Into her Music, She Infused Gospel with a Sensuality and Freedom it Had Never Before Experienced, and her Artistry Rewrote the Rules Forever.
