So #AlexisMorrast’s appearance on #GospelPBS was amazing. They introduce the story of the Mahalia vs Rosetta battle of 1946, and position Alexis as Mahalia (OMG) and her (worthy) modern contemporary Celisse as Rosetta. Then there’s the vocals. Just beautiful.
Really excited. 💜
So tonight is #AlexisMorrast’s appearance on #HenryLouisGatesjr #Gospel documentary via #PBS. She will be singing with some legendary talent, along with some amazing up and coming #musicians you should listen to.
If you’re still keeping up with #BlackHistoryMonth, and you’re interested in seeing where the root of most American #music comes from, this is your time to shine.
You’ll see Alexis briefly, as a featured talent, at the .18 second mark.
Really excited for this one.
If you click federated media, you’ll find #AlexisMorrast via instagram. Not a lot of #music out yet, but tons of stellar appearances, including closing #EllaFitzgerald’s documentary on Netflix. She is also featured on #PBS’ new documentary “#GOSPEL!” hosted by #HenryLouisGates, airing February 12th & 13th for #BlackHistoryMonth.
If you follow her, tell her I sent you. Thats all I ask.
