    Her scatting is awesome. I wish I could sing with her and her sisters.

    Redemption, prayer, and healing. All things you will feel when she sings.

  4. Shirley Caesar

    Legend, absolutely a legend. A blessing to all in need.

    Yolanda is simply the greatest. No gospel singer has matched her ability to speak to diverse audiences the way she does. She's a trendsetter and able to stand on the grandest of stages, outshining anyone outside of God.

  8. CeCe Winans

    There is no 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.

    Twelve Grammys, fifteen Stellars, seventeen million albums worldwide, twenty-three Dove Awards, four Soul Train Awards, one Lady of Soul Award, five 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.

    She mainstreamed gospel into American culture. She ONLY sang 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 one.

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