    I played this for my mom who is in a nursing facility due to aneurysm. She's paralyzed on one side and can't talk much. Thank God no life support or pain. But her reaction to seeing this is food for my soul. Thank you Ann.

    This is wholly the most superb rendition and she has not only the voice but beautiful immense presence and gravitas to sing this song. I connect and believe..her delivery of th sentiments and feeling of this song. As a Director myself on artistic grounds, I would have cast Ann Nesby as Mahalia in heartbeat .

    • @marquesbell4178
      @marquesbell4178 7 лет назад +5

      God and the spirit of Mahalia were taking her to a higher level. I remember seeing her do an impersonation of Mahalia in an interview on TBN some years back and she was superb then. Quite a few women have starred as the original Queen of Gospel in this show and they were nice but that essence of Mahalia just wasn't there. They might as well have made a concert out of Mahalia's greatest hits. But when the announcement came that Ms.Ann was starring as her, Mahalia herself, told God in heaven "NOW THAT'S THE ONE!'

    This is one of my favorites by Mahalia Jackson. My mom passed 3 years ago the pastor's wife (First Lady Rose Jarrett) song this song for the family, it was so beautiful and my sister's and I was able to hold it together. I'm glad I recorded it on my phone. R.I.P Mahalia Jackson and my mom Sadie Smith.😥😥😥

    Anne Nesby did this classic justice. Tears came to my eyes because this was my mom favorite song and Imitation of Life (remake 1959) was my mom's favorite movie. I used to watch it with her during the holidays growing up. Anne Nesby is a singing lady. Has a voice that can touch anyone's soul.

    Ann Nesby is the real deal for me, in the same vein as Queen Aretha, they sing from the soul of humanity itself, desolate and haunting. I cannot think of a singer other than Aretha who moves me more than Nesby. She has a beautiful distinct sound, a beautiful tone and haunting resonance... 99.9% of other singer trail in hers and Aretha's wake, they just have a special gift from god and emote through song in a way that others cannot do no matter the size or range of their voices.

    Current R&B isn't what I want to hear from you. Your family has such an astonishing feeling on black roots and I just want to hear more songs like this! These clips from the Mahalia story are just brilliant!
