Mahalia Jackson - I'm On My Way

[ldFlorida]

Wow! I've never heard a Gospel song sung so powerfully and right to the heart! And the rhythm and piano match perfectly! I can't find THIS in any Churches anymore.

So simple, so soulful, speaks to the heart ...

[hartzaire]

[howarddcox]

[smothcool90]

[hartzaire]

@smothcool90 ya her music make,s you feel it who ever you are. some song,s now are misinturpited to be super holy and perfect and have no soul.

[kcope001]

She is the most exquisite vocal talent I have ever heard, and that's saying something. R.I.P. MS. Mahalia, my fellow New Orleanian.

[darkangel10468]

My grandma loved Mahalia. I can see why now. That voice is flawless. I still like Elmer Gantry's version better. That full chorus was rocking!!!!

[quwannaboo13]

yas Mahalia is one and was one the greatest gospel singers that gloryfied GOD

[AlaskanSky]

She was truly a divine human being. She was the real deal.

[cupcake0071]

All that the late Mrs. Mahalia Jackson sang was powerful, with meaning and much purity as see sang. I am one whose greatful that God had created a person such as Mrs. Mahalia Jackson. Yes, I feel deeply that she was a child of God's, who love sharing his word through music.

[angelroma]

This will be played at my memorial someday. This is the real deal. Love it, love it, love it!!!!!! This is the first lady of soul, long before Aretha.

[aelishaful]

it's crazy that one of my ears was so clogged up that i couldn't hear out of it (it'd been like that all day) but as I got further into this song, it cleared up. Mahalia Jackson has one anointed voice!

[TheLadyajb]

@aelishaful  Jesus wanted you to hear this song

[MR118350]

i love the soothing music in the back and the beat. sing Mrs. Mahalia

[electronictrip]

Mahalia sings like someone who understands and believes Gods word

[MNTSRRT17]

Fantastic! Mahalia you'll always be a goddess.

[MrLiccoFernandes]

She's not singing, she's praising God. What a voice!

[ItsJustMe220]

"If you won't go please don't hinder me" Amen!!!

[jermainehaywood]

both versions she did of this song is good, but i love the other one better.

[queen936]

Mahalia is the greatest Gospel singer of all time,there will never be another like her.

[96NoLimits96]

She's 1 of my idols , love her.

[bhysten]

Truth Anyhow!!!!

[jjdavis212003]

Who wrote this song? i want the sheet music!

[JustQuis]

ITS AMAZING HOW AMAZING THIS IS

[jahboyz3]

@JustQuis Oh yes, only one Mahalia♥

[toml37]

I first heard this in the movie Elmer Gantry and I never forgot the words. This is another great rendition...Amen

[hannahr77]

HALLELU-YAH TO THE LAMB OF GOD

[Monstermack40]

Glory to God! She really sang from Her heart God Bless her, What a beautiful inspiration to Christians she was.

[prunelle17]

une voix qui prend aux tripes... merci

[Cuchino51]

Thank you so much for posting this moment in history!! To God Be The Glory for Mahalia Jackson!!

[Babyhowdy233]

This is utterly SOUL-STIRRING!!!!

One of-IMHO-the most powerful vocal performances of the 20th Century!

[wonone100]

Mahalia Jackson had reverence for God unlike so many gospel singers who sing today whose videos are all about them and not about God.

Jackson sang only for God and not for herself.

Many of today's gospel singers use God for profit and for others to look at them and not at Christ.

[TheeNiyaBrown]

AMEN to that "wonone100", you said something I talk about all the time. At times it really seems gospel artists forget why they are singing gospel and if they really knew WHO they were singing to and for they would take a different approach to gospel music. Even the lyrics today don't reverence God the way they use to, gospel lyrics are about daily life now. That's not a gospel singer that's an inspirational singer. In my humble opinion.

[wonone100]

They know who they are "singing to" and do not have the brains to take a different approach.

Personally I do not listen to any of them because there are many to listen to that really do sing for the glory of God and not for their own glory.

I doubt we will see the likes of Jackson again.

[evereth76]

this is my favorite song from her! Great!!!

[ag4mayornyc]

I love this.

[ybrown1131]

Very nice....

[BashaaniN]

Happy 98th Birthday, Mahalia Jackson!!!

[NooneEverReallyDiez]

[corner53000]

i love the voice of Mahalia definitly the queen of gospel

[AlaskanSky]

If you won't go, don't hinder ME!

[RTDavis0503]

She had such a strong voice. This was my mother's (rest her soul) favorite artist.

[jandjesus]

I love this song

[finehomemadewine]

this is my favorite from her

[mrwink2u]

This song is up lifting and very powerful

[jahboyz3]

Yes I agree!!!

[belitnakoff]

@jahboyz3 I love this song. She had the voice of an angel. Maybe she was an angel. I think God sent her to us.

[jimmyjawjack]

great!

[Mdizzlefoshow]

Man my generation doesnt know music lol

[Mdizzlefoshow]

this song is tight! especially the music

[jahboyz3]

This is my fav!!

[Walmart789456]

@Mdizzlefoshow

You don't say "tight" to gospel music 18:12

[Mdizzlefoshow]

@Walmart789456 : you dont have a walmart youtube account with the old psp picture and tell me what to say about gospel music! lol

[eugenius911]

does anybody know where I can find this version at? album? mp3?

thanks.

[AlaskanSky]

It's on the two-disc CD set: "The Essential Mahalia Jackson"

[ismail357]

give me your email

[c9ari]

Ella Fitzgerald is good and I love her. But she had nothing on Mahalia!

[jahboyz3]

LOL!  OKAY?!? Say that Say that :)

[loaactnow]

i wish they had done a duet

[miltmonkey]

Mahalia would only sing gospel and that with proper reverence and respect. Unless Ella would sing gospel then there would NEVER be a duet !

[AlaskanSky]

I love when she says "I'm falling and rising." She makes herself sound like a wave of energy.

[jahboyz3]

Yep, she made it come to LIFE!!! :)

[blessed4areason]

I love this song. It is one of my absolute favorite's from Miss Mahalia Jackson.

[harryguitarjackson]

So good it had to be sung TWICE.

[jahboyz3]

That's right!!  Amen bro! :)

[gracetalks1]

Beautiful! yes we are, PRAISE, GLORY, thanks so,

[holdmydrinkbitch]

Thats voice has the pain of 400 years of slavery and the hope of the future.

[jahboyz3]

This is prob my fav song of hers.  I agree with you!!

[Chokhmah66]
