Mary and I are working on an album of spirituals. We thought you guys might like to hear from some of the artists that are influencing this project. Mahalia Jackson and Nat King Cole // Steal Away to Jesus As a child, Mary would pretend to be Mahalia. Mary told me a sink-full of dishes are easier to clean this way. Steal Away should be required listening for all of humanity. The Fisk Jubilee Singers created a wider audience for the song (we’ll talk more about them another week); later, Mahalia sang the song for Nat King Cole’s movie, St. Louis Blues. https://youtube/watch?v=-O5hz5KnSdc
