  • Today, January 27, 2023, marks 51 years of Queen Mahalia Jackson's death. From 1972 to this very moment, her music and life continue to bless people's homes, airwaves, and tv/movie screens! She built such a rich legacy, which is a great foundation for those who wish to share God's message. I hope that you all will enjoy "Didn't It Rain," which is a song she frequently sung, but prior to this video, I've never witnessed her singing the song like this!
    Recorded in France in 1968, and accompanied by the Drayton Singers, Charles Clency (Organ), and the late Eddie Robinson (piano).

      That's actually a group called The Drayton Singers. The late Girard Drayton is the founder, and he's the one on the far right. He's originally from Baltimore, which is where I'm originally from also.

    This is the only time a camera caught Mahalia shouting/ doing the holy dance. One reason may be her quartet background. Though it's rarely noticed, Mahalia was steeped in the quartet tradition. Eugene Smith of the Roberta Martin Singers remembered the Prince Johnson Singers (with whom Jackson rocked Chicago in the mid-30s) as a "quartet group," essentially a quartet with piano accompaniment as opposed to a gospel group like the Martins (Roberta or Sallie) or Wards. Eddie
    Robinson looks mighty serious at the keyboard.

      That makes sense why she was good at choir arrangements and directing. You jogged my memory - I read somewhere she used to work with a choir at a St. Lukes Baptist Church I think it was called.

      Hello Mr. Heilbut. I first came across your name on the liner notes of Mahalia's Garden of Prayer. The year I got that album was June 1967. I've read The Gospel Sound and followed your work over many decades. Good to hear from you.

      When I was 14 yes old, my father pastored a Church of God church that had some missionaries that were close to 80. They told me “Mahalia Jackson came and sang at their prayer breakfast. I wanna tell you when she opened her mouth to sing a powerful fire fell all in that place. It came down like a thunder and people were shouting everywhere. The hand of God was one her in an unusual way.” We grew up listening to her music. My dad said she was one of the greatest musical evangelists that ever lived.

    SHE WAS A REVIVALIST, LIKE DAVID , SHE BLESSED THE LORD WITH ALL THAT WAS IN HER UNTIL HER LAST BREATH. THE CULTURAL MINDSET WAS VERY MILD, BUT GOD IN HIS PERFECT KNOWLEDGE PLACE HER IN THAT GENERATION TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF BEING EVEN MORE INDIGIFIED THAN THIS.

    Do you have the “There’s Only One Bridge” album by Rev Cleophus Robinson? If so will you post it’s. I have searching for it for years.

    • @Rowoches
      @Rowoches  ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of Cleophus Robinson's stuff that I had posted over the years was removed due to Copyrights, so I really don't plan to post a lot of his stuff. The same thing with a few other artists. I've seen the THERE'S ONLY ONE BRIDGE album on eBay quite a bit over the years, and I think I may have a copy. I'll have to look. Please give me some time and I'll also look for the other song you asked me about.

      @@jasonbaddboiiI hear you… but in the 1930s she was much smaller and even more agile…and a BAPTIST… so those ministers back then weren’t having all of that switching in the pulpit. Even her adopted son, Bro. John Sellers said that even the pastors that did like Mahalia made her wear robes because she was such a “mover”… known as “Snake Hips Halie”.
