An American crime..thats what brought me here..

I grew up listening to Mahalia Jackson on my parents 8 tracks and records, so when I heard her on Divine Secrets I got so excited I had to go find her here. Her music is like a boost of energy.

[sheltv100]

I remember when I was 8 I first learned of Mahalia Jackson, this was the first song I heard from her. When I was 8 I used to think that Mahalia Jackson was the woman who played Louise Jefferson on The Jeffersons. But when I grew up I learned that The Jeffersons was aired in 1975 and Mahalia Jackson died in 1972.

Mahalia is my #1 favorite singer. She was and is an amazing gift to the world.

[keninhablack]

nossa como ela cantava super bem amo as musicas dela a voz entao nem se fala ,pego muitas tecnicas dela !!!mahalia vc é muito especial para o mundo da musica gospel....

[TheBambieyes]

I feel like Im too young to like this song, but I do..........:)

[MrMbell2]

I first heard this song in the movie Divine Secrets Of The Ya Ya Sisterhood, starring actress Sandra Bullock. I knew I had to hear this song again after that.

[karenamanda1958]

I'm an atheist but I like her singing.

[snipestony001]

Sing it, Mahalia! Yes, Lord...

[thegizable]

I bought her greatest hits at the Wayne State University book store in 1984 and have been playin it ever since. The greatest gospel singer of all time.

[subt2568]

MJ is testimony that there is a God. Her voice is the most powerful I have ever heard and watching her videos it appears effortless watching that power come from her when she sings. I love Mariah, Whitney, and Celine but combined none of them can sing like her. I have been in church since i have heard her voice she is truly a tool of God and she has been gone for over 30 years.

[lalamama4real]

@cefinow Wow! That is a powerful testimony. You never know how God is going to work in someone's life.

[cefinow]

Back in 1993, I saw a MJ cassette tape on the sale rack $2, bought it, just curious what she sounded like, started playing it in my car, the power of God hit me during this song, I been in church ever since. So I always love Mahalia and especially this song. thanks

[cefinow]

Back in 1993, I saw a MJ cassette tape on the sale rack $2, bought it, just curious what she sounded like, started playing it in my car, the power of the Holy Spirit hit me like an avalanche during this song, after that I started going back to church and been there ever since. So Mahalia and this song really mean a lot to me.

[MzLizKent]

This song is what I played at my daughters birthday parties for musical chairs, its perfect and the kids got a good dose of super star Mahalia singing one of my favorites.

[tornickin]

You gotta be clapping your hands, tapping your foot, or at least bobbing your head, snapping your fingers or something! I defy you to be completely still while this woman tears this song up! Amen!! :)

[sarge2906]

this song kicks me in the butt every time!

[1crusaderrabbit]

If this doesn't give you goosebumps, nothing will.

[fairfax17]

down to the soul ole time gospel . the kind that touch your soul and make you shout and dance just for God.

[pastorgilmarcaetano]

ela foi formidavel em sua forme de cantar e mostra para o mundo a musica de Deus. Que pena que talentos assim parece que desapareceram da terra. O pessoal daquela epoca e que escutava musica boa.

[marydutch]

Oh Mahalia, I have been listening to you since I was a child! God gave you the most wonderful voice I have ever heard....just like angels singing!!

[marydutch]

Oh Mahalia, God gave you so much talent! What a voice! Such depth!. When I was a child I used to lay by our "Hi Fi", and listen for hours to Mahalia, my Father's favorite. I see Mahalia pictured with Elvis!....what a voice God gave him, and so much talent! I thanks for posting this song...I have not heard it in years!

[stillwatrs]

thanks for uploading this with info, this my favorite version! you made my day! :)

[inspiration504]

I was at a funeral yesterday, and the guest soloist sang this song. And I must say, this was a true funeral celebration, in addition, this song was sung so greatly, that I had to look it up.... only to find Mahalia Jackson the original singer of it, which made it even greater....just love it!

[pozzebon]

too bad they didnt sing together...

imagine, Elvis and Mahalia... couldve been 20 years in Gospel music

singing and worshipping together

[jholyghosthead]

OMG! this is one of my favorites by mahalia! i was always upset cuz the song was just too short!!!! lol

[michaeljames57]

@jholyghosthead

Like you this is one of my favorite Mahalia Jackson's song and YES it is to short.

God Bless from Michael-James Sydney Australia...

[sheltv100]

I love the "Way up."

[stevenshorter67]

Yes, Billy was about 17, I think. I'm still trying to find out which album this song originally came from.

[TheBbinca]

Trying to sit down..had to get my shout on! Hallelujah to the King! That was so joy-filled and soulful. Sing, Mahalia, sing!

[MrElipss]

[edcjke]

Miss Mahalia RIP I so love you and you are the very best....never again will we hear anything like this blessed woman

[twirlinboy]

Undoubtedly the best. She always brings me closer to God.

[KittiesJason]

My beautiful grandmother,...the late, great Ann Seals sang with Mahalia Jackson in the late 60's early 70's,...and even released a couple of gospel albums of her own,...but her career never took off the way we'd hoped,...but to hear my grandmother's beautiful voice,...bearing great resemblance to Ms. Jacksons' mind you,....well,....my grandmother left you breathless and closer to God,....(I love you Mama Ann!) Smile

[Jamaicanchocolate34]

[DYNODRUM]

[katrinablue]

Beautiful voice, beautiful soul, beautiful woman

[wcta0608]

Isn't this one of the pics when she would appear at Newport Jazz Festival? Great job!!

[sunevyelloh]

I have always said Queen Latifah could play her

[dmmrad54]

I love this song.

Did anyone else notice that the first picture shown looks a little like Queen Latifa ?

[SueYooper]

You mean Queen Latifa looks like Mahalia! (who was here first...)

[dmmrad54]

I meant the picture shown of Mahalia looked a little like Queen Latifa. I know Mahalia was first and still is in my opinion.

[Oshunlife]

Oh! shyt the one at 2:13, thats crazy lol...

[Oshunlife]

U guys are funny but, on another post there was a debat and Queen Latifah actaully favors Pearl Bailey-Lol check it out!

[MUZIKNFILMZ]
