To the Lord, one day she came. I've got to tell you again about Shirley Caesar. I learned a lot about true gospel music listening to her sing.

Ceasar has been singing since 1951. That's when she signed to Federal Records at the age of 12. You know that's a long time. And she still sings and moves like she’s twelve years old. She doesn't look her age at all. God has blessed Shirley Caesar. According to SoundScan, she has sold 2.2 million albums since 1991. She’s won awards and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. She has been honored with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions in gospel music.Caesar has been referred to as the First Lady of Gospel music, and The Queen of Gospel Music. I've bought Shirley Caesar’s cassettes and CD’s and played them to death; mostly cassettes. I was always listening out for her on the Sunday morning radio show, “Inspirations Across America” back in the day. Although things have changed in music & radio, I still listen out for Shirley Caesar. She's the best still singing and preaching the gospel. I'm Gail Nobles reminding you of the gospel greats. I'm going to leave you now with the intro song of today's podcast by Gail Nobles tiled “Shirley Caesar Singing the Gospel”. ...
