M.C. Records to Release Gospel Legend Marie Knight Live Performance. The Gospel Truth Live (MC-0084) was recorded October 19, 2007 at Margaret A. Hart '35 Gospel Fest in North Adams MA. Over a decade later, this revelatory performance sees the light of day in a stunning 20-track release that captures Knight at her very best. Marie Knight, famed musical partner of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, delivers a showcase of her thunderous contralto, commanding personality, sardonic humor and unabashed evangelism. Accompanied by pianist Dave Keys, Knight breezes through the songbooks of gospel legends, sharing anecdotes and heartfelt performances. Released as Sister Rosetta Tharpe is posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this album is a testament to Knight’s indelible impact on gospel music. Combining her legacy with her present vitality, The Gospel Truth Live is a soulful celebration needed in times like these.
