  • Mahalia Jackson performing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee'" at the 1970 Newport Jazz Festival. Her show-stopping performance during the 70th birthday tribute to Louis Armstrong was a moving finale to the star-studded concert event. This is quite likely the last filmed performance of Jackson, who passed away in January 1972. Mahalia's performance of "Closer Walk" is dedicated to Armstrong, who joins her on-stage for a rousing finish.
    This performance is from the original film "Louis Armstrong at Newport" produced and directed by George Wein and Sid Stiber. The original, first-generation 16mm film footage was transferred to high definition in 2008. Edited versions of the film, presented under the title "Good Evening Ev'rybody: In Celebration of Louis Armstrong," have aired on PBS, BBC, and other broadcasters worldwide, and a feature-length version was distributed on DVD.
    A limited number of the DVDs are still available on Amazon at www.amazon.com/Louis-Armstron...
    Mahalia Jackson's story is told in the Lifetime movie "Robin Roberts Presents: The Mahalia Jackson Story," in which Danielle Brooks stars as Jackson. "Mahalia" has been nominated for an Emmy. Congratulations! #mahaliajackson #mahalia

    I had 2 holes in my heart when I was born and the doctor told my parents that they couldn't take me anywhere or I would get sick but they didn't listen to him and still took me to church safely and I was healed with no surgery or anything needed now I'm 14 years old and worship and praise God every day❤🔴🔴

    This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!

    Her voice was truly anointed by the Lord. She’s long gone but it still touches the soul. I love Mahalia Jackson because she not only loved the Lord but she made sure to live her life according to his principles. I recall doing a book report on her twenty-seven years ago in the tenth grade and that’s what stood out the most - her conviction to do the Lord’s work, and to use her voice only for it.
