[123ilovejesus]

powerful song.

[ariadne2956]

This has to be the QUEEN of all songs

[PierreGarin]

Thank you very much! We love this song, the way she sings it, so free and full of emotion...Pierre (Belgium) and Mohamed (Lybia)

WHAT A MARVELOS LADY WITH A GREAT VOICE I LOVED HER

[mama1ove]

Simply Amazing!! No wonder the Queen of Soul (Aretha Franklin) admired her so much. I can hear the influence. If only the likes of Beyonce and Rhianna would take a chapter or two (a leaf/page would still leave them wanting lol) out of this woman's book and fix the heck up and learn to SING PROPERLY and sing something of SUBSTANCE. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[MrSallyseymour]

[Hemulen40]

Wow wow wow ...WOW !

[sweetypie000]

i wish i was born into a black family. like the jerk

[VASINGER]

She did okay, but no one can top Patsy Cline's version.

[2close2heaven86]

@VASINGER Patsys version is ok, but it can't top the sheer power and emotion of Mahalia's version! She sung this song to pieces. But again Patsy's version was good as well.

[Arnell0910]

@VASINGER Mother Mahalia did a much better than ok, you have know what was going in her life and/or what was going on in the country @ the time this song was recorded live.

Don't get me wrong Patsy Cline is real good as well, I like her too, alot

[hallsbstn]

@VASINGER Patsy was good as well. But Mahalia took this to another level, a lot more soul and feeling.

[Arnell47]

@VASINGER Mother Mahalia did much better than OK, I like Pasty's version as well. But Mahalia gave the song the soul that it needed. Pasty was a heck of singer as well.....

[CQ20Queen]

I know the angels swayed to her and the Lord was glorified!

[MrPittsSox]

I like her version the best I think

[THEKINGMRMIGHTY]

Now unto the KING eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise GOD, be honour and glory for ever and ever. 1 tim;1:17. Thank YOU KING JESUS. Amen.

[DaSourcespr06]

lol..thanks Tim!

[1joker88]

The footage of her singing this is somewhere out there. it's from that same 1963 concert where she sings "how i got over" that's so popular here on youtube...

[PennTrafford]

You get out of life exactly what you put into it, and Mahalia got so much because she gave so much! A life well lived -- and well loved...

Thank you for posting this, DaSourcespr06!

[DaSourcespr06]

no problem, just trying to be a blessing!

[appetancy]

It's more than thrilling to hear Mahalia in church! Sensational.

[DaSourcespr06]

I agree, i feel like she had more room to be free, and be lead by the spirit, and not under commercial pressure when she was in the church. She could shout, and moan and go crazy in the Holy Spirit at her, or rather Gods pleasure!

[khayrece]

Why do we think that shouting, moaning, and going crazy is the work of the Holy Spirit?

[ahlordgod]

I love hearing her singing and saying Hallelujah!!! Praise His Name! It's just something about her voice, her spirit, the Anointing is ever present today in listening to her singing.

[DaSourcespr06]

I know what you mean, its just like th anointing of God just gushes from her vocal chords!!
