Description:

The "Classic Masters" series. This is a collection of Negro spirituals with a human beauty unique to Barbara Hendricks that is different from the singing that can be heard in the repertoire of the same Negro singers. Hendricks was raised on songs sung by her Methodist minister, father, and mother, and praising God through song was an everyday part of her life.
