Mahalia Jackson's reputation as the greatest gospel singer of all-time is well warranted.
More than anyone else, she single-handedly helped this genre cross over both racial and cultural lines.
Recorded four years before her death, 1968's A Mighty Fortress found Jackson's recording career and civil rights involvement winding down after the shocking assassinations of both Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King.
