Music for Grownups: Shirley Caesar
Of the divas performing at “AARP Presents Songs of Soul and Inspiration” in Atlanta on June 21, none is more deeply rooted in gospel music than Shirley Caesar, who has been singing it since joining her siblings, the Caesar Singers, at the tender age of eight. Even as a youngster, she developed the powerful voice and electrifying stage presence that continues to inspire and excite audiences today.
