I grew up listening to Mahalia Jackson. I learned to sing by singing along. I learned to praise God after I truly understood what Mahalia was signing about.
October 26, 2011 will mark the 100th anniversary of her birth. I hope gospel musicians and gospel music lovers alike will take time to review her vast contribution, and indelible mark she left on the world. She really was about GOD'S business!
I LOVE U POP-POP 4 ALL ETERNITY>>U SHALL LIVE 4-EVER.,Love your grand daughter HEATHER.I UNDERSTAND YOUR SPIRIT WENT TO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY:I WILL REMEMBER U 4-EVER
this song has always moved me. When I'm feeling down, I will play this song when I have access to it. As I'm listining to it now, my eyes well with tears. This song really touches me. I get strength form as it 's message says don't give up and keep going in spite of what life throws at you. God sent a good messaage through her haunting voice. better message
Thank you so much this just brought tears to my eyes. You know the Bible says we as Christain should be a light to the world and we can learn alot from the "Queen of Gospel" Again thanks for posting.
Have you seen the Mahalia documentary, "The Power and the Glory"? Well worth it. There are 2 discs, one with her life story. The 2nd is all live performances.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have definitely seen the documentary. I actually own it.
For those of you who may be misled, the performances on the 2nd disc aren't live as far as having an audience, but you are able to see Mahalia singing the songs in a big studio, with scenery. Several of the black & white footage have been posted to YouTube.
I've actually seen the DVD documentary in WalMart for a very reasonable price. If you can't find it there, you may find it in other music stores like FYE...or you can order it online. It's called THE POWER & THE GLORY!.
Ovation TV is playing "The Power and The Glory" this month. I've seen it twice so far. It's a wonderful documentary about Mahalia Jackson. You'll probably have to check online for the dates and time.
This is the Queen! May God pay you will lady for the great work you've done. We are still praising God today at the sound of your voice. Bless her Lord with a good position in your army and when I get there let me fall in her rank. We gonna sing on the singers committee. Amen! lol
Ditto that, this was the first vesion I had heard way back in the 90's on BET when they were selling a special compilation of her greatest hits. If anyone knows where it can be found, I really would be beside myself to get my hands on the cd....
Yes, it has been released on CD....and I've seen it in a few stores several times in the past. If you purchase things online, you should be able to find it through Amazon.
You must be careful how you talk about the servants of God. I pray you understand not to do that. This woman has turned many to Christ and paved for the way for many music artists---not just Gospel either.
"I'm going outside seizing beulah!!!!" I love her passion. Where did you find this particular recording of this song? I had it on a record once but could not find it on cd. I think these early recordings are the best she made. thanks.
I had it transferred from my album titled HOW IT GOT OVER. Then in the early 90's, there was a double album...one was blue and the other was yellow. This song was on it. It has been released on CD since then.
WhoooA!!!!! As of 2/5/12 she only has 0 dislikes...

Mahalia's voice was a treasure. She sounded beautiful whether singing or speaking.
