Psst, wanna know who Mahalia is?
Known around the world as the “Queen of Gospel,” Jackson used her powerful voice to work in the Civil Rights Movement, working closely with with Martin Luther King Jr. At his request, she sang at the March on Washington in 1963, performing “I Been ‘Buked and I Been Scorned.” Jackson released her first album in 1934, but it was her 1947 album, “Move on Up a Little Higher,” that brought her fame. In 1961, Jackson sang at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. True to the idea that the African American story is an American story, it is hard to imagine contemporary music without the influence of Mahalia Jackson. This point is underscored by her induction into the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio in 1997.
