Mahalia Jackson= Remember Me

[PierreGarin]

Thank you for posting this: I like it particularly, with the first part very deep and inspired, and then the change in mood and rythm...

[muyeyenawej]

Oh yes the Lord will remenber you, in Jesus name

I do not appreciate that Hallie's pianist is not shown on this footage while the other 2 muscians can be visibly seen.

[KojiRecords]

Mahalia Jackson was a great BLUES singer who sang GOSPEL. When I was taught this in a college, I was skeptical, having only heard her washed out, banal performances on Columbia Records (i.e. the white Mahalia), which I detested hearing when I was a kid; however, I understood much later that Hallie was indeed the "World's Greatest Gospel Singer" when I heard her explosive recordings for Apollo Records (i.e. the Black Mahalia), which beg comparison to Hallie's favorite, the great Bessie Smith.

@KojiRecords

You know a lot of people don't like those recording she did for Columbia. But they do show what a vast amount of musical genres she was able to tackle; blues; jazz, (near) opera, hymns, orchestral accompaniment, romantic songs, pop, swing.... Yes, her Apollo recordings were amazing in their own right, but you would not know what a Mahalia Jackson was if it had not been for Mahalia's great ability to take on Columbia and what they gave her to work with. And she did it!

[mrtheoneandonly83]

@KojiRecords Thats true because Columbia only knew the white market at the time so Mahalia had do less Bessis Smith (BLACK) and more washed out (WHITE) no offence to anyone!

The correct title of this song is "But This I Pray, Oh Lord Remember Me" by Myrtle Jackson and Roberta Martin. Coryright 1944. Printed music was published by the now out of business Martin Music Studio, Chicago, Ill. Ms. Jackson changes the music often as the spirit takes over. The song itself is beautiful played or song as written!

[athorpe630]

He ment where can you find the sheet music for playing or learning her songs check on line should be some.

[suedawg95]

This is my absolute favorite of Mahalia's song. She's the best. God blessed her with such a beautiful voice, and she used it for His glory. She sang with such passion for her Lord.

[Mslude]

Mahalia is the true Queen of gospel I have every song that she has ever sung and I simply adore her I don't want a choir to sing over me at my death it has been planned by me every song will be sung by her. I don't care for this new age gospel with the dancing and all that carrying on.

[Arohanui60]

I was a 9yr old Maori girl growing up in NZ and I watched 'the lady in the sheet' every Sunday, I remembered being absolutely riveted to the screen she was an amazing part of my childhood.....and not so culturally distant if you've ever heard Maori hymns sung in 4 part harmonies....In the Upper Room has always moved me...I chose it for my partner's funeral - the only joyous moment of celebration at an otherwise dismal event

[chiefbraggs]

Many of the great songs of the church can be found in the "Gospel Pearls" Check out the gospel music stores or check online. I saw them as late as the 90's in stores.

[meredithscott76]

How could anyone forget her? Anyone know where I can get the sheet music? My music minister says many of these songs were never written down. If this is so, ti's tragic. Us white folk can't up and improvise our instrumentation to that extent.

[mert828]

Some of us can.

[toniwhite12]

from 1:42 til the end of the song: when she sings that part "down at the river of jordan callin on tha role!" it sounds like shes crying from her soul!

it just put tears in my eyes knowing that she's not here today!

[obyano]

incredible'oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[aauukkii]

Does anybody have the lyrics?

Mahalia is so amazing!

[65and98]

Why does she have the music? She doesn't need it! Mahalia's the best.

[mrduragss]

Jesus she really is the best. AMEN...DAMN

[1joker88]

[elfeco]

Down at the river Jordan, when calling your roll oh Lord remember me

[dozer1189]

[1joker88]

[RoyceRoyal1987]

Down at the River of Jordan, in Calling your roll, remember me!

[REALTALKBABYBOY13]

it is callin your roll

[75ladysam]

@dozer1189

do you have the lyrics? they re nowhere to be found!

[kykiddo]

Got 5 of her cds. Great. She did use what technology available. She'd do the same today. She lasted because of the Holy anointing. Christians judged her back then the way they judge new singers today. "Judge not" is not a nice suggestion.

[shackattackit]

Oh Mahalia,I miss you.

[educatorpoet]

The Spirit of God lived in this woman. What a Saint for the Lord. It is so eerie that you can feel her passion in the songs that she song for the Lord. I don't mean in a bad way but even in watching this video you could literally feel what she was singing about and knew that she meant it. That is the Holy Spirit present. In all your ways acknowledge the Lord and He will dirct thy path.

That is what Mahalia Jackson did. She was a mouthpiece for the Lord. Thank you for posting this video!

[knownonlytohim]

She was a gift from God to the world to tell from Him in such an impressive way, singing only for His glory. Thank you for this video!

[rubiaccastro]

Deus seja louvado, muito lindo e muito inspirador.

[MinAntwon]

HEllo is there anybody out there that can tell me how to save this to my desktop to just play and listen at.

[BashaaniN]

I always love the way she put her all into a song and it wasn't gimmicky like some singers...it was just her enjoying her religion...diving into the joy of the Lord.

[drmbj]

Yes sir remember me

[Mprophet1906]

It's a shame I can't get this song on CD! The conviction with which she sings really increases your faith and makes you want to hold up the Blood Stained Banner!

[lyewland]

GREEEEEAAAAAT sing it

[trolex]

I absolutely love this song. No tricks, no frills, no ornamentation, just pure flatfoot singing!. I'm in awesome at the power of Mahalia Jackson. She makes a brotha want to get saved.

[chiddichiddibangbang]

this woman has STRONG vibrato!

[Daymo02]

Could someone tell me where I could find the lyrics to this song, I have looked everywhere

[pispapoi]

Yes, I Remember Jesus and you Mahalia .

[sisterlou65]

[MrStyle]

[Daymo02]

"Seek and find the old path and when you find it walk there in'. I wish more gospel singers would sing songs like this

[gospel1234]

Mahalia never recorded this sound, but she sound great. Love your videos that you have posted of her. She was my favorite performer. The Great Mahalia!!!!
