Mahalia Jackson
  • Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul man cannot live in health without them.

  • Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.

  • I hope to bring people to God with my songs.

  • It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test.

  • Money just draws flies.
