And, she'd come to the podium wherever 0u they happened to be and sing her heart out for him. °*^r,tifoF £o She was his most beloved singer. And his favorite hymns were the ones she loved too. Miss Jackson's made an album. The album features -."Take My Hand Precious Lord" and "We Shall Overcome."

Then, of course, there's "Nothing Takes the Place of Loving You," a great single. Now the name of a great album filled with great Stonewall singles. "I BELIEVE IN LOVE" c/w'DRINKING AND DRIVING" mum
