  • I grew up listening to Mahalia Jackson. My Mother knew her music...I am 50 years old and I still listen to Mahalia...The only gospel singer whom I can really connect with. I NEED to be in the Upper Room...Thank you for the music....I was so shocked to find it here...

  • It is , born in '75 , not possible to meet Cleopatra.. , nor any other historical figures.. I do thank the Gods for granting me the gift to be able to listen to this..Gods bless the Internet..

  • The upper room.. DE Upper room...LOL..

    She SANG this...I can see my mother now swaying.

  • greatest gosple voice ever . she sang like no other . i love this song . how peaceful. . need this song in troubled times . i feel close to god hearing this. shes there singing in heaven . rest in peace dear mahailia. love you. polywog690 indiana,pa.

  • She was and will always be the greatest voice in gospel. She is surely missed.

  • I was named after her

  • so love this song...

  • Thank u LORD I will BE IN THE UPPER ROOM WITH YOU REYNARD FULTON MY SOUL MATE REST IN PEACE BABY I WILL SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE

  • reminds me of "LIFE" LOL but i love dis song, notice how she say the "upper room" cant help but to laugh

  • grim but very inviting. what an interesting dichotomy

  • I, a non-Christian, believe that the"Upper Room" draws upon each person's reach for something higher than the explanation we are given for our existence. There are surely infinite connections implicit in the moment of our miracle, and no one can tell us how we should live the only life that is given us. In this quantum reality we are both mortal and immortal, sinner and saint, lover and loved, and no God or King or Shaman has control over our destiny.

  • @SMNONA100

    That is where you are wrong. You need to know Christ.

  • @mikes230 I grew up steeped in the faith, and treasure the Jesus story. But I'm afraid it seems that the modern folk who most espouse their Christianity are often the ones who rally to war, the death penalty, and vitriol. I think the Jesus man would have little in common with modern religion in America, preferring again the common folk to the megachurches and crystal cathedrals. Faith is a thing best worn in private. Thank you, and best wishes to you.

  • ochocinco sent me here

  • I could sit and listen to her voice all day....

  • ima bust up in the mothafucka and sing "the uppahhh roooooom"

  • @addzack11 LIFE, EDDIE MURPHY! When he went into this I HOLLERED in TEARS because I knew exactly which song he was talking about!! LOL!

  • She knew what it was to sing "with soul"; she was the best.

  • @carterwjeff, I totaly disagree with that statement having sudied history exyensively the African slaves did not have any knowledge of God, for they had many gods . The slaves wre introduced to God durning the Awakings,,and strong revivivual meetings,and I am not at all convinced that they all embrace it. because we seem to need God in the past, but what about now?

  • @333367777 You are referring to the 85% not the 5%

  • @damdra I think i may see your point if I precieve you right then you are correct can't fight with you on that . I did not comewith percentages but if 5% was included in the frist place then you win.

  • @damdra I think that I get your point.You are correct if 5% was not included in the frist place. I have to say true. I did not know the percent that is hard to figure.

  • beautiful voice

  • R.I.P shytik bowman may God forgive u and all of us for our sins sleep well and good man this songs makes me wanna jump and sing it lol

  • I grew up listening to Mahalia, being a white child in the 60's that I suppose was unusual. My mom used to say if one was an "unbeliever", they needed to listen to Mahalia sing, because after listening to Mahalia sing if they didn't become a believer after that, there was no hope for that person!! I think Momma's right!

  • @malisoucy my sister thank you for letting the world know , when it's was so racist back in the 60's , it was OK to listen to Mahalia no matter what color you were. Mahalia's voice was from God. Everytime I play this song , I know God is Pattening his feet. GODBLESS !

  • @msprettyass22 GOD BLESS YOU, Ms. Pretty! My momma brought us up the way she & my daddy were brought up!! Momma loved listenin' to what she called "real" Gospel music! For her & Daddy growing up in the 30's & 40's in TN, and brought up right, and bringing up 5 of us kids right, was no easy job, I suppose, but I'm thankful for it. Racism is something I cannot understand, and do not tolerate, never have, never will. Mahalia still keeps me going & other "real" Gospel music!! Bless you, Sister!

  • Mahalia

  • i am related to her and it took me 15 years to find that out!

  • This was one of my mom's favorite gospel songs...my mom passed away 5-21-2011, 4 days after her 62nd birthday. I dedicated this song in my mom"s memory to those who have, did have or passed away from cancer. RIP Mom, I love and miss you.

  • @lilacrose08 My mother passed away 2-17-2011. Mahalia was her favorite gospel singer and listening to this brings back good memories. You will always have those good memories of your mother to help you through the sad days. I know I do.

  • Fantasia is going to play her? Oh, that's so disheartening. Better to find a an unknown singer.

  • Bendito seja O Criador

  • I first heard this song close to 50 years ago, being played on an old jukebox from a black storre in a Texas town. It moved me then, and it moves me now. This lady truly had a blessed voice, and she used it to serve Jesus.

  • Cant help but think about Eddie Murphy singing this in the movie "Life" with Martin Lawrence. I love this track though, classic.

  • @DeenTyler HAHAHA!! ME TOO!! I never heard the real version. Only heard them messing around with this song in the movie "Life" with those crazy fools!! Sis. Jackson, God Bless her forever and ever!. I know in my heart she is with the KING still singing!

  • @elbowrida79 God still loves you i know because i have done some foul shit and still he shows me grace and mercy.

  • @TheBigsexymama AMEN!

  • I actually visited New Orleans 3 weeks ago and got to visit Mahalias grave. It was something to stand there and admire this woman who had been dead for so long, in this little silent spot, when in life, her voice had been so loud and big.

  • Listening to Mahalia, makes me want to share my appreciation of life with others

  • ITS SO SAD WE DONT HEAR GOSPEL MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE !!! HIP HOP RAP HAS TAKEN OVER, SO SAD.

  • Mahalia is my religion.

  • ouaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • gigantesca, che voce.... da svenire! è bravissima, non vedo l'ora di vedere la sua tribute band dal vivo vedere chi vuole eguagliare la mitica Mahalia!

  • Mahalia...I love you...You are the best Gospel singers of all time.....You make my spirit soar.......

  • What an introduction, what a depth, what a rhythm!

  • This has been my #1 for as long as I can remember. Thanks for posting!

  • Mahalia.. Thank god for your recordings.... I am trying to find more salve time black music and am unsure what to search for... Does anyone else know a keyword for slave black music?

  • @carterwjeff: primitive gospel, old church, primitive baptist. The reason the African slaves loved the gospel was because it taught that all were free, that regardless of being a slave, that you were loved by God. Pretty heavy stuff, considering the people that taught their slaves about Jesus were the same ones who held them as slaves. That's why they saw Old Testament Stories of Hebrew slaves meant so much to them. Mahalia was the Best. Check out the Staples Family Singers sometime.

  • @verbaud Did slaves simply accept their master's religion? or was a supernatural effect, a Holy Spirit, attracting them to a real savior. Could that be how Christianity has become a dominant system, from starting off with one deceased messiah, and later 12 dead apostles.

  • @AztecQueen619

    deceased messiah? pagan-you know not that of which you speak. go somewhere & "pray" to your wooden god

  • @verbaud I still have my great grandfather's emancipation papers from slavery. Your insight is so right on. And I hope you don't bother engaging in some of the nonsense here. What you've written needs no explanation.

    Love & Light,

    C...xo

  • @verbaud africans, knew about God before the came to America !!!

    

  • @twigbass How did they know about God voodoo was their god and they had many gods. they was taught by the the crusaders for christ they came from across the water to seek religiious freedom . What is your proof ?

  • @333367777 Your talking shit, christianity was in Africa way way before the Roman's spread it through Europe. Learn history and facts. Arse wipe

  • @carterwjeff i would say to search for old spirituals, im about to search for it now....

  • Now you are in the upper room with Lord Jesus, Mahalia Jackson queen of gospel!

  • sideshowbobmarley... Its the Power of the Holy Spirit given by God in her

  • @II6bulletII

    Yes I agree, and she was so generous. She was giving from this great power to other people during her whole life and still is. I am very grateful for it.

  • I love you Mahalia Jackson....You are the most Fantastic...

  • Does somebody knows who is the guy who sings so deep in the bass behind Mahalia? thanks

  • one of my favorite songs by Mahalia Jackson! Rest in Peace Sister Jackson, see you at the 2nd coming!

  • God rest you sister...my fellow New Orleanian.

  • Coolest woman EVER.

  • I used to get engulfed in this song, before I saw the movie Life. Now every time I hear this song, I immediately think about that scene. LOL! SMH at myself.

  • she was the best of the best wish i could of seen her face to face! she was a real child of GOD i love her music she was my g~mother's fav ta~ta till next time friens

  • Glory Be To God.

  • mom see you soon.

  • LOVE THIS SONG!. AND MRS. MAHALIA JACKSON BEAUTIFUL VOICE!.

  • Queen of Gospel..Her voice soars through the skies

  • since my 76 childhood in my ear, thank 4it mahalia! love it very

  • she SANG that song!!!!

  • i never wanted the song to end good old fashioned deep rooted in the word spiritual

  • As an Abrahamic atheist, I obviously don't attribute any divine or supernatural power to Miss Mahalia's voice. But it's the closest thing to an otherworldly force I've ever experienced. Her 'Amazing Grace' makes me well with tears when sober, and flat out sob like a baby when drunk.

  • @spaceoreo You think you are tearing up for NO reason? Its right there, you just dont see it. :)

  • @stewwalk No...I don't think it's for no reason. I just don't think it's because of an Abrahamic god.

  • i JUST BLACKED OUT!

    

  • nobody should ever

  • Yes lord Sing Mahalia!!!!!

  • One of the greatest voices of all time!

  • this is how i learned to play guitar. with her songs, and others. She just devestates me and makes me consider my consecration to our Lord.

  • So THIS is the song Ray Gibson (Eddie Murphy) was singing in "Life"!

  • @mscaxe im still watching it on comedy central

  • Just inspirational!

  • @Shazzae1 Type in Steal Away by Marie Guillian. Be blessed.

  • da upper roooooooooooom !

  • @pikehunter23 That is the same thing I was thinking!! lmbo

  • Amazing. How i would like to be a man of fatih. But faith is a grace given to a few privileged people like this great woman.

  • @ordordo You can be a man of faith. Just study the word. Attend bible study and church and your faith will grow. U can have just as much faith has her

  • @ordordo IT IS WRITTEN: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another FAITH by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

  • Sing it, Mahalia! You could almost make a believer out of me.

  • When I hear Mahalia Jackson's voice , I really feel the spirit of The Lord. Song's like this remind me of my people and how we have always stood on the promises of God.

  • @FHARRISJR55 my mother lovesssss Mahalia and sounds just like type in Mahalia Jackson by Marie Guillian comment

  • 10 stars!

    Peace

    Gill

  • i cant stop laughing -- i keep thinking about the scene in LIFE... lmao ahh maann

  • @iTEXTlikeKRAZY lol "Da uppah rooooom" lol

  • @illouie when juh heeeeezus....... bahahahha

  • At this time of my life ,I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS

  • "  awesome."

  • When I was 8, I was first introduced to Mahalia Jackson. I used to think she was the women who sang the lead to the TV theme for The Jeffersons. I also thought she was the one who played Louise. But I was wrong, because The Jeffersons was aired in 1975, and Mahalia Jackson passed away in 1972.

  • One of few times in my life I agreed with my older (and bossier) sister was when she brought a LP of Mahalia home for us to enjoy. We made our house a house of praise playing that record at full blast :-)

  • Shalom. Brothers & Sisters. Praise Yah.

  • Thats cool that Elvis got to meet her.

  • I love this.. A true blessing to the body of Christ they just don't sing like this anymore. Songs to lead you to the water and make you want to drink. Pastors have to start leading the people to Chirst and not their own agenda's. I'm tired of church as usual I want to experience Jesus EVERYTIME I'm in the Sanctuary that begins with Praise and Worship..

    But every time I hear "Upper Room" I think of Martin Lawrence when he was talking about the "Upper Room" on his show..lol

  • The Upppaaaaarooooooooom!!!!!! Where JEEEEEEeeeeeeesssUUUUUUUss!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lip synching to this jam

  • I found Mahalia Jackson's CD in a library once and I was hooked. The Holy Spirit just radiates from her. This is my favorite song she sings because this is what I see in a vision, me and my Lord Jesus sitting together, me and Him talking. Such a special moment. I pray I get to sit with Him in heaven like that.

  • I'm an agnostic when it comes to religion, but I KNOW this is a great song.

  • @773SleepyHollow If agnostics feel the body full of soul

  • @773SleepyHollow Christianity is not a religion, its a life style and an relationship with Jesus Christ.
