“Tell them about your dream, Martin”. Mahalia Jackson to Martin Luther King (Washington, 23 August 1963) The complete Mahalia Jackson recordings (presented chronologically as in the Sister Rosetta Tharpe series) reveal a personality who will remain one of the greatest-ever Gospel artists, a singer who filled 20th century Afro-American culture with inspiration. The source of this vital music is the collection of Jean Buzelin, the author of this anthology, together with the aid of collectors of Mahalia Jackson's work; all these recordings have been restored with the best analog transfers and most sophisticated technology available, to avoid any alteration of the original sound.
