Jackson) 出生

杰克森在芝加哥时添加葛瑞特莎冷浸礼会教堂 (Greater
Salem Baptist Church) ，并且开始教导教堂的圣歌五重唱团。杰克森只演唱圣歌，拒绝演唱其他世俗 (非宗教) 的音乐。因为她说过：「当你在唱圣歌的时候，你会有一种感受，任何不对的事情都被治愈了。」她在1930年代中期录制了一张独唱专辑，最后还在1954年与哥伦比亚唱片公司签约。杰克森也与「圣歌之父」汤玛斯．朵西 (Thomas
Dorsey) 合作。杰克森后来也和爵士歌手杜克．爱林顿 (Duke
Ellington) 合作录制唱片，也在纽约市的卡内基音乐厅举办演唱会，同时还曾经为四位总统献唱过。除了是一位很棒的歌手之外，杰克森也是一个成功的生意人。
In Chicago, Jackson joined the Greater Salem Baptist Church and began touring with a gospel quintet. Jackson only sang gospel, refusing to sing secular (non-religious) music, because, she said, "When you sing gospel you have a feeling there is a cure for what's wrong." She made her first solo recordings in the mid-1930s and eventually signed with Columbia Records in 1954. Jackson collaborated with the "Father of Gospel Music," Thomas Dorsey. She recorded with jazz great Duke Ellington, packed Carnegie Hall in New York City on a number of occasions, had a radio show, and sang for four presidents. Besides being a great singer, she was a highly successful businesswoman.
