About The Record:

My Faith, by Mahalia Jackson, released in 1967 by Mahalia Jackson on Columbia Records, is a gospel album featuring 11 tracks that showcase her powerful contralto voice and deep spiritual conviction. The album includes traditional hymns and spirituals, reflecting Jackson's lifelong dedication to gospel music and her refusal to perform secular genres like blues or jazz. While My Faith is not as prominently celebrated as some of her earlier works, it contributes to her legacy as the "Queen of Gospel," a title earned through her transformative influence on the genre and her role in the civil rights movement. No specific singles from My Faith are noted as chart-topping hits in the provided sources, unlike her earlier breakthrough single Move On Up a Little Higher, which sold two million copies in 1947. The album remains a testament to Jackson's ability to evoke profound emotional and spiritual responses, as noted by critics who praised her ability to connect with diverse audiences.
