This album was released in 1967 by Columbia Records, at a time when Mahalia Jackson was already a gospel icon. The title references the central theme of Man of La Mancha.
The record includes a mix of gospel hymns and popular songs with spiritual messages, such as the title track. Jackson aimed to bring her message of faith to broader audiences.
Although not one of her best-selling albums, it reflects her artistic versatility and ability to interpret secular songs with deep religious feeling.
