Jackson grew up in a Pitt Street shack and started singing at 4 years old in the Mount Moriah Baptist Church. When she started to sing professionally, she added an \"i\" to her first name. Brought up in a devout Christian family, Jackson still found herself influenced by the secular sounds of blues artists like Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey. Jackson’s sanctified style of performance would also rely upon freer movement and rhythm when contrasted to the styles seen in more conservative congregations.\nLearn more about her as a musician and a civil rights icon: https://www.biography.com/musicians/mahalia-jackson\n--\nWatch a live performance of \"How I Got Over\": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l49N8U3d0Bw", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3604693, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3604693/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-15T13:48:37-08:00", "show": 65658, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65658/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Wholy Holy (live at the Kennedy Center Auditorium, Washington, D.C., 1972)", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "7f20bcbe-b3a1-443c-89c0-dca8c8a95014", "artist": "Marvin Gaye", "artist_ids": [ "afdb7919-059d-43c1-b668-ba1d265e7e42" ], "album": "What’s Going On Live", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "db01bec8-eebf-43c0-9aca-451dfc6d59ac", "labels": [ "Motown" ], "label_ids": [ "8e479e57-ef44-490c-b75d-cd28df89bf1b" ], "release_date": "2019-10-18", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The only live performance of his entire \"What's Going On\" LP that Gaye ever did, it was originally recorded in 1972 at the Kennedy Center in celebration of \"Marvin Gaye Day\".
