"Run down the entire list of cuts. This is a remake of two albums from about 1956. She sings nearly all of them with very little embellishment.
She has the power and self-confidence to let the traditional stand on its own. Perhaps 'I shall not be moved' has a little hint of the turmoil in race relations that was about to explode across the country soon after these were recorded.
"
She is simply the best there ever was

"This cd is really two cd's on one. One Christmas and one gospel album. All the songs and sound quality are absolutely moving. Her gospel songs just bring chills and tears to your eyes."
How can you get better than Ella for Christmas
