- De même que l’on considère Bessie Smith comme la plus grande voix du blues, on reconnaît en Mahalia Jackson (1911-1973) la plus grande chanteuse de spirituals et de gospel songs. En effet, aucun(e) autre interprète de musique religieuse, y compris les phénomènes vocaux comme Marion Williams, n’a atteint la grandeur, la simplicité, le recueillement, la puissance de conviction, l’éclat et la retenue tout à la fois de Mahalia Jackson. Dès sa petite enfance, à la Nouvelle-Orléans, elle débuta dans les chorales des congrégations baptistes puis, lorsque sa famille s’installa à Chicago, Mahalia continua, à l’exclusion de toute musique afro-américaine d’expression profane, à chanter le répertoire religieux, bouleversant d’abord les auditeurs locaux, puis l'Amérique et enfin le monde entier.
