Mahalia Jackson, (born October 26, 1911, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.—died January 27, 1972, Evergreen Park, near Chicago, Illinois), American gospel music singer, known as the “Queen of Gospel Song.”Jackson was brought up in a strict religious atmosphere. Her father’s family included several entertainers, but she was forced to confine her own musical activities to singing in the church choir and listening—surreptitiously—to recordings of Bessie Smith and Ida Cox as well as of Enrico Caruso. When she was 16, she went to Chicago and joined the Greater Salem Baptist Church choir, where her remarkable contralto voice soon led to her selection as a soloist.

CLIP 'En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor ' Bocelli TENOR ANDREA BOCELLI RELEASES NEW ALBUM, 'SENTIMENTO' Since bursting onto the classical music world in 1994 with a debut album which went platinum within weeks, Italian tenor ANDREA BOCELLI's worldwide success has been phenomenal. He has scored number one singles and albums around the globe and has been proclaimed by many as a worthy heir to Enrico Caruso. Born in 1958, the blind Andrea grew up in a close knit farming community in Tuscany where he started to display rare musical gifts from an early age. He soon developed a love of opera and by his own admission felt destined to sing. After graduating from the University of Pisa as a Doctor of Law, Andrea spent a year acting as a court-appointed lawyer, before embarking on a make-or-break attempt at singing. He approached the legendary tenor, Franco Corelli, famous for working with some of the greatest voices in the world, who readily agreed to take Andrea as his pupil. To pay the fees Andrea performed at night in piano bars and clubs, and at one of these venues he met Enrica, his future wife. The couple have now been married for eight years, with two sons, Amos and Matteo. His eponymous 1997 album, 'Bocelli', was awarded Platinum status is all territories of releases, but it was 'Romanza', produced later that year, which took him to even greater heights of success, going multi-platinum in virtually all territories of release. Since then he has turned into one of the world's most prodigious and successful recording artists, producing best-selling albums at a rate of approximately one per year. His latest album, 'Sentimento', is a collaboration with virtuoso conductor and violinist, Lorin Maazel. The original idea behind 'Sentimento' was to revive a fashion for performing violin/voice duets, a style of performance which was so popular in years gone by with artists like Caruso. When Bocelli and Maazel had finalised the list of titles for the album they realised that all the songs had similar things in common: feelings of tenderness, passion, melancholy, yearning and above all, Love, hence the title 'Sentimento'. 'Sentimento' will be released on 4 November, 2002.

STORYLINE Luciano Pavarotti, whose vibrant high C's and ebullient showmanship made him one the most beloved tenors, has died, his manager told The Associated Press. He was 71. Pavarotti had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and underwent further treatment in August 2007. His manager, Terri Robson, told the AP in an e-mail statement that Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, Italy, at 5 am (0300 GMT) on Thursday. Pavarotti, the most celebrated tenor since Caruso, whose singing partners ranged from tenor Placido Domingo to the Spice Girls, scoffed at accusations that he was sacrificing his art in favour of commercialism. It will be said the 20th century began with Enrico Caruso and ended with Pavarotti. Known around the world, Pavarotti was the incomparable tenor of his times to opera buffs and a celebrity who captivated (m) millions. "Pavarotti is the biggest superstar of all," the late New York Times music critic Harold Schonberg once said. "He's correspondingly more spoiled than anybody else. They think they can get away with anything. Thanks to the glory of his voice, he probably can." In his heyday, he was known as the "King of the High C's" for the ease with which he hit difficult top notes, and he turned "Nessun dorma," an aria from Puccini's "Turandot," into a universally recognised signature piece. In the 1990s, Pavarotti's teaming with Domingo and Carreras as the Three Tenors, became a music business phenomenon and spawned copycats such as the Three Irish Tenors. Pavarotti starred in a film called "Yes, Giorgio" and appeared in a filmed version of "Rigoletto". He wrote an autobiography, "I, Luciano Pavarotti," and made more than 90 recordings. From Beijing to Buenos Aires, people immediately recognised his smiling bearded face and large build, clutching a white handkerchief as he sang arias and Neapolitan folk songs, pop numbers and Christmas carols for hundreds of thousands in outdoor concerts. His name showed up as much in gossip columns as serious music reviews, particularly after splitting up with Adua Veroni, his wife of 35 years, and taking up with his 26-year-old secretary in 1996. In late 2003, he married his longtime companion, Nicoletta Mantovani, in a lavish, star-studded ceremony. Pavarotti said their daughter, Alice, was the main reason he and Mantovani finally wed after years together. In the latter part of his career, some music critics cited what they saw as an increasing tendency toward the vulgar and the commercial. He came under fire for cancelling performances or pandering to the lowest common denominator in his choice of programmes, or for the Three Tenors tours and their (m) millions of dollars in fees. He was criticised for lip-synching at a concert in Modena, Italy, his hometown. An artist accused him of copying her works from a how-to-draw book and selling the paintings. But whatever the criticism, he will be known for performances and recordings that display a voice of power, richness and vibrancy and a natural musicality in the central Italian repertoire. No singer of his time better captured the essence of the Italian tenor. He also could be credited with bringing opera to (m) millions of people who otherwise might not have heard it, though whether they were moved to attend the opera regularly is debatable. The son of a baker who was an amateur singer, Pavarotti was born on October 12, 1935, in Modena. He had a meagre upbringing, though he said it was rich with happiness. As a boy, Pavarotti showed more interest in soccer than his studies, but he was also fond of listening to his father's recordings of tenor greats like Beniamino Gigli, Tito Schipa, Jussi Bjoerling and Giuseppe Di Stefano, his favourite. In his teens, Pavarotti joined his father, an amateur tenor, in the church choir and local opera chorus. He was influenced by the movie actor-singer Mario Lanza. Singing was still nothing more than a vocation while Pavarotti trained to become a teacher and began working in a school. But aged 20, he travelled with his chorus to an international music competition in Wales. The Modena group won first place, and Pavarotti began to dedicate himself to singing. With the encouragement of his then fiancee, Adua Veroni, he started lessons, selling insurance to pay for them. He studied with Arrigo Pola and later Ettore Campogalliani. In 1961, Pavarotti won a local voice competition and with it a debut as Rodolfo in Puccini's "La Boheme". He followed that with a series of successes in small opera houses throughout Europe before his Covent Garden debut in 1963, where he stood in for Di Stefano as Rodolfo. Having impressed conductor Richard Bonynge, Pavarotti was given a role opposite Bonynge's wife, soprano Joan Sutherland, in a Miami production of "Lucia di Lamermoor". They subsequently signed him up for a 14-week tour of Australia. It was the recognition Pavarotti needed to launch his career. He also credited Sutherland with teaching him how to breathe correctly. In the following years, Pavarotti made a series of major debuts, appearing at La Scala in Milan in 1965, San Francisco in 1967, and New York's Metropolitan Opera House in 1968. Other early venues included Vienna, Paris, and Chicago. Throughout his career, Pavarotti struggled with a much-publicised weight problem. His love of food caused him to balloon to a reported high of 180 kilos (396 pounds) in 1978. Pavarotti, who had been trained as a lyric tenor, began taking on heavier dramatic tenor roles, such as Manrico in Verdi's "Trovatore" and the title role in "Otello". Pavarotti often drew comparisons with Domingo, his most notable contemporary. Aficionados judged Domingo the more complete and consistent musician, but he never captured the public imagination like Pavarotti. Though there appeared to be professional jealousy between the great singers, Pavarotti claimed he preferred to judge himself only against his earlier performances. In the mid-1970s, Pavarotti became a true media star. He appeared in television commercials and began appearing in hugely lucrative mega-concerts outdoors and in stadiums around the world. Soon came joint concerts with pop stars. A concert in New York's Central Park in 1993 drew 500-thousand fans. Pavarotti's recording of "Volare" went platinum in 1988. In 1990, he appeared with Domingo and Carreras in a concert at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome for the end of soccer's World Cup. The concert was a huge success, and the record known as "The Three Tenors" was a best-seller and was nominated for two Grammy awards. The video sold over 750-thousand copies. The three-tenor extravaganza became a mini-industry. With a follow-up album recorded at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 1994, the three have outsold every other performer of classical music. A 1996 tour earned each tenor an estimated 13.6 (m) million US dollars. Pavarotti liked to mingle with pop stars in his series of charity concerts, "Pavarotti & Friends," held annually in Modena. He performed with artists as varied as Ricky Martin, James Brown and the Spice Girls. The performances raised some eyebrows but he always shrugged off the criticism. "(Some say the) word pop is a derogatory word to say 'not important' - I do not accept that," Pavarotti said in a 2004 interview with The Associated Press. "If the word classic is the word to say 'boring,' I do not accept. There is good and bad music." It was not just his annual extravaganza that saw Pavarotti involved in humanitarian work. During the 1992-95 Bosnia war, he collected humanitarian aid along with U2 lead singer Bono, and after the war he financed and established the Pavarotti Music Centre in the southern city of Mostar to offer Bosnia's artists the opportunity to develop their skills. He performed at benefit concerts to raise money for victims of tragedies such as an earthquake in December 1988 that killed 25-thousand people in northern Armenia. Pavarotti was also dogged by accusations of tax evasion, and in 2000 he agreed to pay nearly 25 (b) billion lire (roughly 12 (m) million US dollars) to the Italian state, after he had unsuccessfully claimed that the tax haven of Monte Carlo rather than Italy was his official residence. He had been accused in 1996 of filing false tax returns for 1989-1991. Pavarotti always denied wrongdoing, saying he paid taxes wherever he performed. But, upon agreeing to the settlement, he said "I cannot live being thought not a good person." Pavarotti was preparing to leave New York in July 2006 to resume a farewell tour when doctors discovered a malignant pancreatic mass, his manager Terri Robson said at the time. He underwent surgery in a New York hospital, and all his remaining 2006 concerts were cancelled. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of the disease, though doctors said the surgery offered improved hopes for survival. "I was a fortunate and happy man" Pavarotti told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview published about a month after he underwent surgery. "After that, this blow arrived." "And now I am paying the penalty for this fortune and happiness," he told the newspaper. Pavarotti had three daughters with his first wife, Lorenza, Cristina and Giuliana; and one, Alice, with his second wife.
