福音歌手，瑪哈莉雅‧傑克森 (Mahalia
Jackson) 出生
1911年10月26日
傑克森在芝加哥時加入葛瑞特莎冷浸禮會教堂 (Greater
Salem Baptist Church) ，並且開始教導教堂的聖歌五重唱團。傑克森只演唱聖歌，拒絕演唱其他世俗 (非宗教) 的音樂。因為她說過：「當你在唱聖歌的時候，你會有一種感覺，任何不對的事情都被治癒了。」她在1930年代中期錄製了一張獨唱專輯，最後還在1954年與哥倫比亞唱片公司簽約。傑克森也與「聖歌之父」湯瑪斯‧朵西 (Thomas
Dorsey) 合作。傑克森後來也和爵士歌手杜克‧愛林頓 (Duke
Ellington) 合作錄製唱片，也在紐約市的卡內基音樂廳舉辦演唱會，同時還曾經為四位總統獻唱過。除了是一位很棒的歌手之外，傑克森也是一個成功的生意人。
In Chicago, Jackson joined the Greater Salem Baptist Church and began touring with a gospel quintet. Jackson only sang gospel, refusing to sing secular (non-religious) music, because, she said, "When you sing gospel you have a feeling there is a cure for what's wrong." She made her first solo recordings in the mid-1930s and eventually signed with Columbia Records in 1954. Jackson collaborated with the "Father of Gospel Music," Thomas Dorsey. She recorded with jazz great Duke Ellington, packed Carnegie Hall in New York City on a number of occasions, had a radio show, and sang for four presidents. Besides being a great singer, she was a highly successful businesswoman.
