As the oldest child of Jimmy and Jane Barnes, music has always been in Mahalia Barnes' blood, so it was no surprise that she inherited her dad’s extraordinary set of pipes, and set off on her own path.
We may have first met her as a little kid in The Tin Lids, but pretty soon Mahalia entrenched herself in a world of jazz and soul. Forming her own band, collaborating with American guitarist Joe Bonamassa, and now – singing her heart out on stage with Jesus Christ Superstar. Her starring role as Mary Magdelene was the catalyst to invite her in to Take 5, with her songs of soul, and from Betty Davis to Stevie Wonder to Aretha, this is a beautiful celebration of the greats.
- Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Up Above My Head I Hear Music in the Air (Ft. Marie Knight)
- Stevie Wonder - I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)
- Betty Davis - Game Is My Middle Name
- Prince - Purple Rain
- Aretha Franklin – I’ve Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)
