It's only now that I hear of this  Shocked

Mahalia Jackson – Moving On Up a Little Higher

Moving On Up a Little Higher may well be the finest collection of Mahalia Jackson selections ever released, and ranks among Anthony Heilbut’s best produced music projects to date.

To give you idea what Mahalia sounds like if she doesn't sing, here's she guesting in the show "What's My Line?", 1961 ep:

As you see, a very respected singer (the game studio is based in New York City).
