seMissourian.com: Entertainment: Man with Cape ties bringing gospel singer's story to film (07/01/11): "Mahalia Jackson is known as the 'Queen of Gospel,' and her music is treasured by generations. Her life saw struggle and success, from growing up in poverty in New Orleans and fighting for black equality, to multiple Grammy Awards, gold records and historic performances the world over.
Jackson's life and legacy will soon be portrayed on film, and a former Cape Girardeau resident is playing a big part in making it happen.
Adrian Taylor, who went to college in Cape Girardeau and still has family in Southeast Missouri, is the executive producer for the film 'Mahalia!' and handles the financing and distribution aspects. Taylor lives in Las Vegas."
