Shout! Black Gospel Music Moments - "Any Stars in My Crown"

With "Any Stars in My Crown," Jeanette Harris proved that jubilee could sound as emotional as "hard" gospel. Jeanette's rough and raspy voice was the ideal vehicle to convey the urgency and conviction of the very best of gospel music.

Jeanette Harris and the Golden Harps sang a passionate version of the a cappella precursor to gospel, jubilee.
