I first heard the Christmas spiritual Sweet Little Jesus Boy when I was a small child.It was playing in the background while my grandmother put the finishing touches on the pies, cakes and fixings that would be served for Christmas dinner.While she mixed flour, butter, sugar and salt, Mahalia Jackson's combination of operatic range and Black church soulfulness whirled around in my heart.
