 | The Essential Mahalia Jackson by Mahalia Jackson

 | Gold by Gladys Knight & the Pips
Buy new: $14.97 / Used from: $9.99 Gladys is my favorite singer. She has the most powerful and engaging voice I've ever heard, and there isn't a song out there that she couldn't sing. A perfect singer in my eyes.

 | Simply Red - Greatest Hits by Simply Red
Buy used from: $1.98 This has some of Mick Hucknalls greatest moments on it, but some are missing. I highly recommend Simply Reds 25 Greatest Hits Anniversary Edition due to the inclusion of his greatest vocal performance which is, in my opinion, "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Check it out!
