    She truly had the voice of an Angel. She sang at Dr. King's funeral and in the film Imitation of Life. Thank you for doing her grave.

      Whitney Houston wasn't a very good singer at all I don't know how I didn't see where we got popular but but Mahalia Jackson was a woman of God that serve God I don't know how you compare Whitney Houston to Mahalia Jackson there's no resemblance at all Whitney Houston couldn't sing in my opinion

If she considered her grandmother her mom, and MJ was her grandmother’s third Cousin (presumably because her grandmother’s grandmother; I.e. her mothers great-great grandmother was MJ’s 1st cousin) then the math is correct.

    I just came across this and immediately clicked on it..This is POSITIVE AND BEAUTIFUL!! I HAD ALWAYS WONDERED WHO IS THE QUEEN OF GOSPEL.. The work you do is beautiful! I am from Arizona and had no idea until a year ago that Phoenix had its own Chitlin Circuit and it's own thriving Blues and Jazz music scene that was wiped out by urban development.. I would love to include this woman in my American musical studies and if she has surviving relatives I would love to interview them at some point! Thank you so much for the work that you do! Cultural heritage preservation work is NOT EASY and Freedmen, we are that one cultural group that has been so tough to keep reliable records for! Protection of the music and our other contributions has been difficult and unfortunately corrupted. She was so well dressed and talented! Sadly she is not talked about here in the Pacific Southwest or on my coast!

    Lamont....As you would do Faces In Death videos, @3:01, I noticed the crypt of Justin Wayne Weatherspoon Jr as he died aged 19 and was curious to know how he died. Upon Googling his name, he tragically was a victim of gun violence. The young man had hardly lived as I noticed that a number of people died young in this video, which always makes me grateful for the one true blessing of life that I absolutely treasure. As for the legendary lady Mahalia Jackson, I wish I could have met her to hear what she went through during her early years and how she inspired many a gospel singer. Her voice was truly remarkable and ageless. Many thanks for posting.

    Last summer, when I was hovering between life and death, after a very serious surgery, someone (I have no idea who) played the great Mahalia singing "Precious Lord", my all time favorite Mahalia song... I thought I'd died but I'd actually come back to life cause I was weeping, the song moving my heart and spirit like nothing I've ever felt... I am well and alive to tell the story... thank You Lord and thank you Lamont for all you do... you don't realize it but you bring healing in many ways, by your storytelling and reminding us that at the end of the day, we need one another and we are under God's grace... much love...

    I remember my parents bought a Christmas album with all the popular singers on it and Mahalia was one of them. I always tried to sing like her as she sang Away in a Manger. It was my understanding that she was not admitted to a certain hospital when she had her heart attack, and it was because of that and the time they wasted in order to treat her, that she passed away. That always made me very sad.

    She was an awesome Gospel singer! My Late mother loved her and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Few, if any sing Gospel like this anymore. Her voice truly moved one's soul.

    Thank you so much for making a tribute to my favorite singer the late Queen of gospel Mahalia Jackson. I was going to suggest that you do a video on Mahalia & I’m grateful that you did. Mahalia Jackson today is still vocally unmatched

    my mom told me when I was about 6 months old, Mahalia Jackson would be on the radio and my ears would perk up when she singed those great gospel songs of hers. she is a legend and never sold out. she's in eternity forever with our lord and savior Jesus christ. God bless Lamont for telling the tale of a wonderful christain who used her talents to the full and I know her rewards are great and I will see her when I go home some sweet and beautiful day
