Ever since the world discovered the tried and true talents of Mahalia Jackson, New Orleans has long been known for its great traditional gospel music.
The Heavenly Melodies have secured their own eternal place in the realm of traditional black gospel.

They hail from one of New Orleans’ great gospel families, one that has more than four decades given us spirited gospel singers, the Penns Sisters. The Penns family has connections to groups like the Famous Salem Travelers and The  Friendly Travelers.
The original Penns Sisters was reborn in the 1964 and became the Heavenly Melodies.

The group has traveled extensively throughout the state since that time.
They have chosen the task of delivering the gospel to whoever will listen.
Their new album entitled “He’s Workin’ It Out” certainly qualifies them to minister the word in song. Their soul stirring melodies garner plenty attention from church parishioners as well as secular audiences.  They have been pleasing these audiences for more than 2 decades.
