Hallelujah What a Song

• Track Listing

Marie Knight belongs to the select group of great soloists in the history of Afro-American gospel. This 22 track compilation features her work from 1946-51, and includes her collaborations with the Sam Price Trio/Quartet, the Nightingales, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the Sunset Four, the Dependable Boys and others. Although she is a top gospel soloist, Marie has been more or less invisible to the gospel world at large during the last two decades, and in the fall of 2001, it was revealed through gospel expert Anthony Heilbut that Marie was still active as a singing pastor in New York.
