Mahalia Jackson w/the Falls-Webb ensemble Come on Children, Let's Sing Release Date: z Rating:

Quite simply, listening to this record is like going to church. Mahalia's voice, one of the strongest gospel voices to be put on record, is made even more powerful by the Falls-Webb ensemble, who chant, harmonize and rejoice in the background throughout the record. Upbeat numbers such as the title track find the choir in rare form, but the centerpiece of the album is Oscar Brown's "Brown Baby," the languid arrangement allowing Mahalia to pull at the song, stretching its melody for greatest emotional effect.
