Oh my God! This is extraordinary . . . it exceeds all limits of endurance. A classic spiritual like we have never heard. 1965 is the year, and albeit in ill health, she delivers great singing in a style so pure, so beautiful, and so strong. She's a top performer like Garland, Crosby, et al .. . she set the standard.
This is representative of the current state of American sentiment. "No hope for tomorrow." How could you dispute that? An economy trashed? Lying narcissistic politicians, self-serving, and odious of the Americans?
This is classically beautiful . . . like the Parthenon, the Pantheon, the Colsseum. Superlative performance of an eternally magnificent Mahalia, whose name in Hebrew suggests "the one who praises God." No accident there, for sure.
the first song i heard of her was HOW I GOT OVER i was like 7yrs old and i loved her every since. and u can tell when she gets into the song when her voice sounds more strong and powerful HOW I GOT OVER is one of them. but she sounds powerful in all her songs.
Mahalia Jackson is the reason why i hate "gospel" music now. Its obvious she was a deep spiritual being, and a loving person. The face, if you will, of a true Christian ( and Dr. Martin Luther King of course). Her voice is moving and beautiful, unlike the "gospel" you hear today, or music in general.
This is such a beautiful song...I had the honor of being the soloist for when my HS Choir sung it. Mahalia's voice is soooooooooooo amazing...I only wished I could have done it half as well as she did.
@DaSourcespr06 Thank you so much for this song. I hear it daily and it is so deep going in my heart. Do you know the lyrics from this version? May God bless you very much!
She's breathtaking!!! I would give my back teeth to have a voice like hers. I sing along with her when no-one is listening LOL. It's a very moving song - thank you for posting DaSourcespr06
Mahalia know's she betta take me in! One of my favs!!! Is the lowest voice an actual bass or a stop on the organ, because it's putting out watts!!! ^_^
Recorded in 1965 in Chicago's Greater Salem Baptist Church, it is a fantastic recording from the album "Garden of Prayer." I wish this would be released again in CD.
@PennTrafford ... sometimes I am driven .. sometimes I don't know which way I can run ... this is a song about slavery, which is what makes it so harrowing and at the same time so uplifting to listen to ..
There are simply no words, Lord Jesus, not one!
