I love Mahalia Jackson so much. When I was going through a hard time her music carried me through. She wanted to live to a old age but life didn't allow her which is sad. She is now singing with the angels.
Mahalia's voice is so big Bobby and Mike could just be background singers. LOL Love this woman, she didn't know how to be fake, nothing but her pure bright shiny self. It must have been a joy to be in her presence. There are some people like that. No matter how bad you're feeling (or they're feeling) they leave you smiling.
It wasn't diabetes that killed her it was a scarring disease that eventually affected her heart and caused heart failure. Although I'm sure the diabetes didn't help anything.
I LOVE IT...THANK YOU FOR POSTING...BEAUTIFUL MAHALIA JACKSON...

I had never seen Darin cook ... Awesome
He cooked every night on stage! :)
This was fun.
I LOVE MAHALIA JACKSON...MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GOSPEL SINGER!!!!!
Mahalia takes you up into the Heavenlies and lets you fly around with the angels even if for a moment...
Rock vocal wow! She was very talented hands down!!!
She is fascinated watching him cook that mess 😂
You can tell she was sick but she was a strong women who had faith that GOD would heel her
Peter Lawford and Bobby Darin talking about the Vapors. Biz Markie people been catching the vapors even then. All RIP.
they were so politically aware
Loving that dress on her. 🤎
"I don't worry about it (growing old) 'cause I am!" Lol!
I wish she would have gotten her diabetes under control. But back then they didn't know how to eat the right stuff.

Harry Belafonte called her the single most powerful black woman in America
Do you have more episodes of the Mike Douglas Show?
Would you happen to have the Clara Ward Gospel Singers on the Mike Douglas Show 1966-1972?
They should have had Mahalia cook. Duke Ellington said Mahalia was better cook than she was a singer.
Unfortunately, both Jackson and Darin faced serious health issues throughout their lives. Jackson was 60 and Darin 37 at the time of their deaths.
In my opinion Sinatra switched because he was betrayed by the Kennedy's after the election used him then pushed him to the curb.
bobby darin face look my sister is my mom
I wonder Mahalia stuck a tissue in her mouth before singing.
