Having listened to the songs and having done a little research on the McGarrigles I found out that Kate passed away just on January 18.
I’d never heard of her or the group before. So, thank you Anne for the enlightenment.
May she rest in Peace.
Joan

That's Mavis Staples. Fabulous, eh? And Emmylou Harris is one of the soloists in the third video, and was one of the listeners at Mavis' session. I've added headers thanks to your comment. Here's a link to the album on Amazon:Beautiful Dreamer - The Songs of Stephen Foster.

Beautiful! Who’s the lady in the middle with that magnificent voice?
Emmylou & Co. also did a harmonious, rich rendering.
Have a good day,
Joan
