I was a single mom with 5 kids. I used to put this song on when I cleaned my house. God's Spirit energized me through Mahalia's on fire Spirit and voice.
I'm glad she lived in a time when recording technology existed, so that we don't have to content ourselves with hearing tales of her performances, and being left to imagine what she sounded like. How fortunate we are to have the evidence readily available to us. That woman had one heck of a voice, and knew how to use it.
Elvis Presley was so moved by her voice that he sang it himself. If Nat and Elvis were that moved by Mahalia Jackson, then that says a lot. The Queen? No question.
My Great Grandma used to play her musics almost everyday and she didn't like English speaking songs or musics because it wasn't her native tongue and she didn't know English... Out of curiousity, one day I asked her why she like Mahalia so musch she said, "She sing with such passion, I don't understand English but the passion in her voice interprets!" May the Sweet Lord bless you Miss Mahalia,... I miss you so much Grandma, Aloha vau ia oe Makua'hine O Hawai'i nei...
She wasn't the best gospel singer in the world at that time. She was the best singer, period. Her voice had limitless power and range and she used it to full effect.
Mahalia never sang R&R in her life. She was a consistent gospel singer all her life. She did sing a bit with Duke Ellington, but nothing inconsistent with her vocation as a gospel singer. The song that best desribe her saintly life is I'M GONNA LIVE THE LIFE I SING ABOUT IN MY SONGS. You are still singing for the Lord, sister. You will never be forgotten.
DO YOU KNOW THE STORY OF THE BATTLE OF JERICOAH? IF NO, its really worthy checking it out in the Bible, one of the most amazing stories of Faith and hard work.
Now this is amazing. I've been listening to her since birth, I'm now 37. She had so heart and soul with that voice, I'm from New Orleans and I went to her grave. To me that was an honor. I bet you're up in heaven singing away...
Nat King Cole was televised without any sponsors - no commercials b/c no one would sponsor his show. Yet he was so good, and so beloved he had a weekly show anyway. Go figure that out. Why no one would sponsor his tv show.
Fear of boycott. Would've been funny if a really huge, huge corporation had sponsored him just for the heck of it, but as Lucky 1038 says, it's all about the dough.
I don't care about the biblical debates. Mahalia Jackson is the greatest singer ever and a national treasure. Just listen to this and that is self-evident.
She is indeed. She was also one of the first black women to have her radio show, television show a chain of restaurants and a hair salon. She was no slouch by anyone's standards. All the while touring all over the world using her glorious voice to do Gods will 🙏
@@Emeless and she never compromise to the world standards there were some jazz groups who wanted her voice and Mahalia say no thanks she turn down 100,000 dollars to sing at the Apollo
and so is mine too...I was at the hospital not knowing what to name my son until the nurse came for the second time and she said better think of something because next time I come will be the last time so you can get discharge and go home you gotta name your son. so I said Lord in your name I pray help me name my son Joshua it is Joshua is his name. I'm a very spiritual person although I dont know much about the Bible.
this is my mom's most favorite singer eva n trust she gat dat same voice, but she didn't get to use it at the time she wanted to, but in the will of God she will and the anointing gon cause mountains to come down n jehovah will get the glory
Wow!!! Loved it and I am certain those that disliked it was just because they need glasses and missed the right button. How could you not enjoy that powerful voice and message.
Being a Tenn Native very proud of our Native Daughter she and Aretha ate from Tenn. Greetings from Chicago I got Married in her Church . Gods Blessings to all.
My Sunday school teacher, Ms. Harris sung this song for the first I’ve ever heard it on the piano. Black history carried down through history is so amazing!!! I’m still influenced by it In 2019!
LA Fred Weasnape 4 wat? I was just joking about how thats what it sounds like she was saying! And same! I've been listening to this song all week! I LOVE IT! and I'm only 11! God bless LOL!!😘😘
Wow I Remember We Had To Sing This Song While Going To Vacation Bible School Thank You Jesus God Continue To Bless And Yes She's In A Much Beautiful Place With A Brand New Body Jumping For Joy Celebrating

If Nat Cole called her the "World's Greatest Gospel Singer" then it's settled. She's the best!
Then again I think Jesus is pretty happy whenever anyone sings a gospel song and means it.
Elvis said she was his favorite singer .Amen to that.
She was Donna Summer's favorite singer as well.
Johnny Cash said she was his favorite gospel singer too.

rloomis3 you are spot on ...thank God for recorded sound
What a time
Me to
That’s the good thing about RUclips It’s a time machine
so true....
New Orleans' own Mahalia Jackson. One of the greatest singers ever in any genre. Rest in peace, Ms. Mahalia, you earned it.
hey, you alive ? 💀

There are no words to describe this woman's voice. She was just amazing...
I love her smile as she sings 😊. She's fabulous!
@@clairey6407 i was always caught up watching her amazing facial expressions while she sings... its pure beauty to me
She wasn't the best gospel singer in the world at that time. She was the best singer, period. Her voice had limitless power and range and she used it to full effect.
They didn't need to use a microphone for her. People at home could hear her all over the continent.
Pixies Pitch Metaphorically, not literally.
so special isn't 't she!
vocalist aren't made like her anymore. what an ICON.

Casual Nat King Cole introduction.
Riiiight I love hearing him speak!
Now this is amazing. I've been listening to her since birth, I'm now 37. She had so heart and soul with that voice, I'm from New Orleans and I went to her grave. To me that was an honor. I bet you're up in heaven singing away...
"The praise went up...and the walls came down"!
...and the walls came tumbeling down..!!! praise the Lord. what a wonderful God we have.

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
The walls come tumblin' down, Hallelujah
Even though I was a little white child she was my favorite female gospel singer. As I got older, I bought every record and album she recorded.
Hallelujah! It's not about race but the Spirit.
Holy fuck... What a voice!
There is no god, I will say facts all the time and what and when I want, so fuck off, hallelujah.
You have a sad soul to speak vile like that... And yes there is a living God and as well evidence of jericho's wall exist.
John Hopkins
The words of the living God says not bless those who hate God because you too take part in the dark side
That your opinion, don't need to be so rude, some of us do believe
Wow!!! Loved it and I am certain those that disliked it was just because they need glasses and missed the right button. How could you not enjoy that powerful voice and message.
So wonderful! I could just crawl INTO this song ;-)
Her voice brings tears to my eyes
The soul she put into this song filled me such a good spirit. A beautiful woman and a beautiful voice.
Annointed by God! gives me the chills...
Being a Tenn Native very proud of our Native Daughter she and Aretha ate from Tenn. Greetings from Chicago I got Married in her Church . Gods Blessings to all.
Mahalia Jackson set the standard for gospel singers. Her voice was truly anointed!! God used her in a mighty way!
I never listen to this kind of music, but this was magnific.
This is not a "kind of music." It's MAHALIA JACKSON.
Can't get enough of that Golden Crisp....
My Sunday school teacher, Ms. Harris sung this song for the first I’ve ever heard it on the piano. Black history carried down through history is so amazing!!! I’m still influenced by it In 2019!
What a faithful voice. Jesus would hear her whisper.
Great Amazing timeless song beautiful beautiful !!!
