Gospel singer Pearl Jackson hails from Poughkeepsie New York. She began singing as a child and she was a third generation member of The Church Of God In Christ. Her mother the late Evangelist Bessie Mae Brown encouraged Pearl to sing with the choir.
Pearl Jackson went on to perform with many in the gospel arena. She worked with The Mid-Hudson Chapter of Gospel Music of America under the leadership of the late great the Rev. James Cleveland. Her first group was the Pearson singers and performed on stage with gospel legend Pastor Shirley Caesar in North Carolina. She also sang with the Supreme Tones of Quality for four years.
Recently Pearl Jackson has decided to go on her own singing the music she loves. Her first CD " Sweet Is His Love" is testimony to this. She not only sings about God's love through song and praise but practices it any her everyday day life. She is truly a remarkable lady with a lot of talent. She just doesn't talk the talk. She walks the walk. There is a song on this album which I found most interesting. It is called "Wade In The Water". It made me envision and old time river baptism and reminded me of the deep south and what it must have been like back in the days of slavery when all they had to hold onto was their faith and the hope that their lives would get better. If that is not the blues what is? Pearl is also contemporary. She has a swinging original called " He Is Mine" that would have the devil singing God's praises on this one.
Pearl Jackson is working on another album called "Rejoice" and is featured in the off-Broadway musical "The Michaels".
