    I first heard Mahalia when I was about 15 and never forgot her. I'm 86 now and thanks for this reminder.

    For two months I laid awake searching for this video. I remember watching it with my mother before she passed. I can rest easy now.

    I’m over 60 now, but I remember listening to Mahalia Jackson compulsively in a tiny town in Greece. Soul needs no translation.

    Her voice and sincerity is almost enough to convince a non-believer that there must be a god. She was a miracle

      I don’t know where I stand religiously but she makes me believe I have yet to find the answer I’m looking for, not that there just isn’t one.

    A truly awesome woman of God. Totally engrossed with the love of God and the joy of singing as if there is no one there but her & the Lord. This rendition is so eloquently dashed with soulful quietness & souring power that only Mahalia could deliver. Delicious!!

  • @yordanosg.7926

    What a powerhouse voice. What souldering passion. You can see how artists like Mrs Jackson paved the way for vocalists like Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. You can also hear Bessie smiths influence on mahalia style of singing.

      Lip-synching has been going on for a long time - since at least when this clip was made. It's nothing high-tech. It's merely a recording playing in the background, and the singer moving their lips with no words coming out.
