‘Anybody Singing the Blues is’ — Mahalia Jackson Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Literary Tee — Classic Tee

“Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help.” Mahalia Jackson kept the blues out of her repertoire her whole career — the gospel queen turned down nightclub fortunes on principle — and this was her reasoning, repeated around her 1966 autobiography Movin’ On Up. Whatever you make of the theology, the acoustics are exact: the blues is a cry for help sung up out of a real pit.
