A Gospel Salute to Departed Friends

In a month that saw so many good people cross over, we thought it fitting to offer a gospel salute to our departed friends, by none other than the greatest gospel singer of them all, Mahalia Jackson. Without further ado, we let the music speak from here on.

'Amazing Grace'

'How I Got Over'

'His Eye Is On the Sparrow'

'We Shall Overcome'

'The Lord's Prayer
