How She Got Over

Listening to some church music recently and had a chance to compare versions of the gospel classic, “How I Got Over”, as performed by Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, and Clara Ward. They’re all great singers and powerful performers, but the winner is definitely Aretha, filled with passionate joy and reaching notes – with power – beyond the capability of mere human beings. It’s on the Amazing Grace set, and I recommend it to all fans of gospel, soul, and transcendent musical experiences. You know who you are.
