When I like a music genre, I don't just love this or that artist. I've gotta have a little bit of everything with some exceptions. So, I am currently listening to Mahalia Jackson's 16 Most Requested Songs. I like the strong fervor in her voice. She's is the Queen as one Orger referred to her.  | |

Most of her songs were rather slow though. Cool. But if I'm feeling down, I want to hear something a little more uptempo | |

Wow, yesterday evening, I listened to Kim Burrell's Try Me Again album. I am in awe for her voice and her style. I had never before listened to any woman Gospel artist combine jazz and Gospel. The sheer strength of her devotion with which she sings to the Lord has surpassed anything I've heard by Yolanda Adams.
   
And the day before yesterday, I listened to Shirley Caesar's Grreatest Gospel Hits, and guess what I found? The song some of you Orgers were talking about: the Live version of Hold My Mule!  Oh...there's some sweet strength that I feel emanating from Shirley's voice. It brings a smile of pure joy to my face.  | |

Burrell is cool. I was never big on Shirley Caesar though. Too much talking in her songs. You gonna sing or preach? Choose one and stick with it!  Seriously, though, I respect the positive influence she's had on so many people... | |
