How could you not appreciate the Queen of Contemporary Gospel Music, our First Lady of Modern Gospel? Yolanda Adams represents the best of gospel music and will outshine anyone on any stage outside of God. Miss Adams has a God-given gift of song that enables her to shine brighter than her colleagues!

Yes there have been things Said, Mrs. Johnson but those words are true it's just the way she said it because how can anyone that God chosen for his flock to walk by someone and ignore them what man of God does that, she just put pastors an Bishops on blast that's all she said something that no one else would have said it had to happen. because they want everybody else to think. they are so clean when they are not no one might know what you have done to get in that pulpit but God sees, that's the key God knows what you're doing and sometimes God will put people around to call you out... That's his way of showing people. be careful of who you are allowing to speak to you from my book..

She mainstreamed gospel into American culture. She ONLY sung gospel her whole career. Mahalia also sang through her illness and made the pathway for modern gospel today. She isn't called the Queen of Gospel for no reason!

Mahalia should be number one on this list. The way she paved the way for everybody else on this list is amazing. She is the best gospel singer and singer ever. She seriously deserves to be number 1.

Mahalia Jackson is the epitome of gospel music. She was and always will be the undisputed Queen of Gospel.

There is not gospel singer that comes close to comparing to CeCe Winans. The tone, the anointing, the growls, the joy, the peace, the smooth runs, the voice. She does not have to do a lot of extra to what matters the most: worship unto the Lord. She is undeniably the best. 12 Grammys, 15 Stellars, 17 million albums worldwide, 23 Dove Awards, 4 Soul Train Awards, 1 Lady of Soul Award, 5 Essence Awards, Music City Award, Nashville Walk of Fame Recipient, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and so many more. She is a trailblazer in Gospel, Christian, and R&B music not to mention pop culture. I could go on and on. Her best friend and sister Whitney was the voice yet CeCe is the gift. All hail the Queen!

Now Tamela Mann is honestly my favorite gospel singer of all times. Her singing just brings so much joy to my heart.

To the person who said that Long As I Got King Jesus was a great song, I love that song too, but also, guess what MY favorite is? Shake Yourself Loose! That and LAIGKJ are both my favorite Vickie Winans songs!

She sure does touch deep in the soul with her songs.

Aretha Franklin is one of the best to ever do it. Pure talent. She is a legend.

Although she has done gospel I don't consider the queen of soul to be a gospel singer... but shes definitely the queen of soul

Strong powerful vocals throughout the years. As she ages, she only gets better.

Oh I loveeeeee Vanessa Bell Armstrong! She is so beautiful & her voice is very angelic. Her voice is still sounds the same to this day.

Very very underrated but her peers know she is Real ..Gospel , soulful and can throw jazz rifts anytime she wants ! Listen not too many people. even can..get on her level ! Mahalia Jackson is the GOAT.. dt even have to write abt her!
