All All. Sign In. Tina The Queen of Gospel Music.

Alberta Engelbrecht.

Contralto singing voice. Good friends with Mahalia Jackson and Dorothy Norwood. She was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. She was honored for her contributions to gospel music in a White House ceremony by President George W. Bush in Washington, D. She began singing at four years old with the youth choir of the West Point Baptist Church under the direction of Pete Williams.

She would later perform with the Williams Singers. She formed the Caravans in and remained with them until when she went solo. I had seen Roberta Martin and Mahalia Jackson.

Truly, madly, deeply!

I wanted to stand up before audiences and deliver the message, win souls for Christ. I wanted to touch dying men and slipping women. We would pack into one car, nobody had a problem with it either. Contribute to this page Suggest an edit or add missing content. Learn more about contributing.
