An' save us all for jesus sake, amen.

By five o'clock dat woman goin' be well.
(it is now full morning and catfish row is full
Of activity with street vendors calling.)

    I love her voice,...she had the best voice I have ever heard but since she mostly did jazz I found it difficult to find a gospel CD from her...My mother had an old LP...yes back in the day but it was a gospel record of Ms. Fitzgerald and I can't locate anything like it...I had checked amazon...does anyone know of a gospel CD available that I have overlooked???
