  • .Impressionante!!

    

  • THE WORLD SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS WONDERFUL RENDITION>

  • I could not say it any better than windsofmarch, whose comments are as amazing as this woman's voice. I can only weakly say, "ditto." Mahalia's voice speaks for itself. Thanks for posting the video and the comment.

  •  I Believe.

  • I love this song, soo much emotions and potiental she was indeed a great gospel singer. not like this crap u hear today ugh

  • I love when she sings..everytime i hear a baby cry, or touch a leafffffffffffffffffffffffffff­feeeeeeeeeeee.wow..she put so much emotion in that note.

  • MAHILIA DID GOOD BUT I THINK MARION WILLIAMS VERSION IS BETTER..CHECK IT OUT

  • maravilhosa cantora, a sempre eterna MAHALIA JACKSON

  • I had no idea I believe was a Mahalia Jackson song. I always thought it came out in the 1990s.

  • @Topg1 Written in 1953, I Believe was popularized by Frankie Laine, a chart topping singer in the 1950s (he sang the Rawhide theme). Like Mahalia he sang it with deep feeling. Both versions are wonderful. In our Slovak-American household everything stopped whenever Mahalia sang on TV. God bless her!

  • Impressionante...!!!

  • CHURCH INDEED!!!! SO LOVELY!!!

  • I have only one thing to say: man, that really made me cry...

  • Gente, parece coisa de outro mundo, quando comparado com o que se vê hoje em apresentações musicais, na TV. A iluminação, o cenário, o figurino e a interpretação. É uma prece cantada. Só um Deus muito insensível não se impressionaria com uma prece dessas, heheh...

  • Man I tell you I'm 21 years old and I listen to what I call great music as far as jazz, R&B, Soul, Gospel, Country even classical and I tell you she's the greatest AND she only sang one genre of music (Gospel) and she's my favorite singer then there's everyone else no questions Asked! Also, I read her biography, seen all her intervews, listened to all her music, and it seems like her soul was spotless as if she was an angel from GOD Listen to that VOICE

  • @farrnu Amen to that. Mahalia was an angel on earth.

  • dam near brought me 2 freakin tears!!!!!!!.....im glad i was around alot of ppl when i watched this or i wouldve been cryin like a little baby lbvfs

  • I love this. My dad used to always sing this song!

  • Mahalia's "I BELIEVE": the beauty of this performance is simply UNbelievable. While on vacation in a family hotel, just before dropping off I "heard a baby cry" thru the thin walls of our hotel.

    The lyrics of this song came to mind, I sneaked down to the lobby with my laptop and had Mahalia singing it for me over and over. Thank you, dearest Mahalia, the greatest singer of them all. Oh, and thank you, baby, for crying!!!!!

  • I will forever be thankful to god for allowing me to share this part of the world with you Mrs.Jackson.any where else and I may not have had the chance to hera your sweet voice..

  • I fear death no more, when I hear this powerful and beautiful woman sing. She has God by her side, she is blessed..........I too am blessed and inspired by this vision and voice.

  • Queen of gospel blues..... Amazing!

  • @flumpylala she was and in my mind still is the greatest Gospel voice God created.....but not blues of any kind gospel or otherwise... just saying

  • what a blessing, just listening to her singing from her soul. God blessed her soul!

  • We are sooo blessed that Mahalia shared her power with us. Watching this just reduces me to tears. Thankfully free from affectation, over-arrangement, or any other such nonsense, Mahalia delivers a simple, impassioned performance that rises above everything. I am white, but Mahalia spoke to me like no other could. Thank you, Mahalia my precious, you were/are a true inspiration.

  • i sure don't know what Heaven looks like but i sure know what it sounds like... ^_^

  • Magnificent! This gives me goose bumps and leaves me breathless.  Rest in Peace, Queen of Gospel.

  • Wow...what an awesome performance! I love the comment that "windsofmarch" made: When God sought out a way to breathe his holy spirit into mankind in a way that would electrify and strengthen the faith of the weakest, he found Mahalia and blessed her with the talent to make the Word ride on her voice. There is power just in hearing her sing...

  • Awesome !!!

    Thanks for upload.

    May His ♥love♥ be with you all

    fr Steven

  • I have loved this song forever, but I've never heard any performance come close to this. And I had thought I heard some great performances. This simply is in a class by itself, as is Mahalia Jackson. My goosebumps have goosebumps! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

  • MAHALIA JACKSON is the most important and the best Gospel singer thar the world has ever heard or seen. May God bless this poor, sad and lost humanity.

  • Mahalia Jackson - Thank you

    reduced me to teras

  • there is nothing left to say...

    in deep respect...

    i take a prayer for my sister jackson now!

  • She was very clear seeing. She let the songs she sang tell their own stories. She wasn't a showwoman. She was a true artist and she stayed true to her art. She also happened to be in daily life a totally real person, never a diva.

  • I remember as a child watching this show with my mom! Ms. Mahalia moves one soul ..to still believing!! Rest in peace~

  • @doubledutchlady  Mahalia moved once soul at a time, one concert at a time, one show at a time until she had fulfilled a lifelong mission of immense clarity and purpose. Not a bad thing at all!!!

  • Mahalia was boring to me. But 2day after listening to this song...what can i say...

  • As beatiful as music ever can be.

  • Mahalia Jackson was a very close friend of my mom's, so I was blessed to attend some of her concerts and actually sit with her. The voice is definitely God given and to hear her sing in person is one of the highlights of my life. So inspiring is this song that maybe we need to have it piped in to the halls of Congress because there are so many people praying, Democrats, Republicans, Independents alike, and I believe we are all praying for each other and our country.

  • HE shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Amen.psalm;91:4.

  • this one got me so good! :') new favorite! <3

  • My dad always used to listen to her (tapes) and so did I - after him.

  • R.I.P

    Granny Sheila forever!!!

  • Thank You.....

  • Sorry Jeff5761. I actually agree with you. Just clicked the wrong "thumb."

  • in this song, Mahalia defines the essence of what it is meant by soul

  • Bollocks!The 'Soul' doesn't exist.Man created the soul through stories. Mahalia's voice is not god given as god does not exist. She was a black woman and black people are born with powerful voices. It's down to genetics and evolution now FUCK OFF!

  • You are sincerely ignorant. A person's race does not determine the power of someone's individual voice. If you do not believe in God-fine.

    But please spare us your obvious racism and stupidity. I have heard a lot of things said about my people. This is one of those old school myths that needs to die.

    But until you get your confusion in order it will remain like a festering cancer.

  • i partially agree with both of you. from what i have seen in general black people do seem to be better singers.this may or may not be because of genetics. i think it is because singing is a very big part of black cultue.i dont think its a "myth"as a myth is somthing widley belived but untrue.the charts in the u.s a hevily saturated with music by or in the style of black people yet the the population is mostly white .and yes there is a GOD

  • I would not venture a guess about why blacks excel at singing, but it is my observation that they really do. Listen to Mahalia Jackson. Her voice was exceptional. . . even for blacks. I've never heard a voice that can touch hers--not top, side nor bottom. She is uniquely one of a kind. Amazing doesn't even cover it. She was born for this purpose and created to do it. There is a God.

  • Wow you said a mouthful you top it with that comment. Its almost scary because it so true, this woman man i cant go on, its almost saying there's no earthly words to describe..her

  • The great anthropologist Margaret Mead did study of African Americans adopted by white, non-musical families. These kids went on to traditionally Black colleges like Oberlin. They were unable to dance with their peers, and sat in the corner as wallflowers. They were unable to participate in singing groups. I come from a family where Dad was musical, Mom was not. We all sang together. Myself and one sister can really sing. Mom and the other sister still can't hold a tune in a bucket!

  • Is that why I'm black and my mum can't sing to save my life...lol. She really can't God bless her soul!lol

  • From this performance,one can get an idea what Holiness of Father in heaven is like.

    First there is what us,Men can experience.

    Second,there are His angels singing to Him.

    Lastly,there is His Holiness in Full.

    If Mahalia sings in this heavenly way and she is a shadow of the Father,how Great is the Father indeed!

    Aretha and Mahalia,they SURELY broke the mold after these lovely sisters :)

    Shalom,Peace to all here : )

  • When God sought out a way to breathe his holy spirit into mankind in a way that would electrify and strengthen the faith of the weakest, he found Mahalia and blessed her with the talent to make the Word ride on her voice. There is power just in hearing her sing with such stunning conviction. In a time when so many don't know what to believe in anymore, so many could benefit from just sitting down and watching this brief video of her expressing her faith. Sublimely powerful beyond human words.

  • Wow, very well said. I'd put the power of your statement right up there with the performance of this song!! Brought tears to my eyes :)

  • Amen and very well stated. God bless you.

  • God comes thru me thru Beautiful heartfelt songs, such as this.

    Thank you,

    Judy

  • @windsofmarch Amen to everything you said here...I am Danish and Live now in U.S.A., but at age 18 I saw her live in Copenhagen Denmark, and tears was flowing...Nobody will ever come close to her GREAT singing...Thank you and Bless you for the beautiful words on this post...Blessing from Lone

  • @windsofmarch Amen........... :)

  • @windsofmarch YOU ARE SO VERY CORRECT, SHE SHARED HER GREAT GIFT WITH THE WORLD.

  • @windsofmarch you are right on. My mom listened to her and cried. She wasnt accepted by her family or church. It broke my heart. She passed in 2001 but I feel her everyday.

  • @DontCountUsOut Wow you never know how much people have in common until you hear their story. My mother went through the same turmoil, not accepted by her family or church and she passed in 1997.

  • I believe,,,mahalia was a blessing to the world

  • what yr is this?

  • god?...don't think so :D

  • Mahalia was one of my Mom's favorite's and now I why. Touching. What a voice.

  • thats music.

  • Mahalia, quand tu chantes, c'est comme si tu priais...

    Thank you God ! ;-)

  • Mahalia, quand tu chantes, c'est comme si tu priais !

    Thank you God ! ;-)

  • that woman was not of this world... she is currently singing with angels... where she belongs...

  • Bless Mahalia and YouTube.

  • I am a grown up man in Norway. Mahalia, you just made me cry like a little baby. Thank you.

  • Im also a Norwegian, and got chills from this song. I believe...I truly do =o)

  • Im a Norwegian as well, and this song gives me chills down my spine...

    I believe =o)

  • Strangely it makes Belgians come out in a rash

  • WONDERFUL!!

  • The Greatest gospel voice ever, his very own favorite singer was Mahalia Jackson, i'am speaking of the King, E.Presely

  • Elvis Presley, said that she was heaven sent, with such a beautiful voice...

  • Who is Nora Aunor? What is she about? Do you know her well? I'm not contradictin you, but you used some pretty strong language here. Somebody else saw a comparison. I can't say one way or the other, since I haven't heard her. No offense intended at all. I just don't know.

  • I think maybe it's her true heart or maybe her honesty.. .she believes with all her heart and is in the very moment when she sings... she amazes me and inspires me!

  • the best female voice that ever sang

  • moved me to tears. Powerful!

  • WOW!!! She sounds so great!!! In Philippines, we have a singer/actress by the name of NORA AUNOR. Please check her out and let me know if you'd agree that she sounds like and have resemblance in terms of looks too. Mahalia is GReat!!!

  • no words!!!!!!

  • makes a believer of me

  • In my opinion the greatest gospel singer of

    all time. May she rest in peace now that she

    is with Jesus whom she sang about in her songs.

  • this should be shown on prime time tv truly amazing!

  • Stunning!, she's the best gospel singer I've ever heard!

  • Upon seeing it, one will never overcome the tearful emotions evoked by Mahalia's song at the end of the Lana Turner version of Imitation of Life. No man can so be made of unfeeling granite that he does not cry at her singing in that movie.

  • This is what we called...GOD-breathed VOICE.

    Her voice was touched by the Lord and strummed by the ANGELS.

    PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY!

  • you just can't get better .........

  • Earth will miss her, Heaven will enjoy her!

  • How incredible! Thank you, God, for blessing us with her voice - and that she used it to praise you.

    Can anyone tell me anything about her? I would really like to learn more about this remarkable woman. Thanks in advance.

  • so beautiful...what a voice!

  • I had the sheet music to this song when i first began to learn how to play the piano and i loved this song

  • tears in my eyes 2,god bless mahalia

  • I know my Dad owned the album that song was on and we used to listen to it. I think I have it in storage somewhere. The album is very hard to find and I hope I can find it. I remember the credits said the conductor of the orchestra was a young new talent named Johnny Williams. I have always wondered if that is John Williams of Star Wars fame. This album is very bluesy gospel which my Dad who passed away 11 yrs ago loved the blues and passed that along to me.

  • I have this album you speak of in the attic. It was magnificent. Recorded in 1961, it was a jewel. Johnny Williams also worked with her on Great Songs of Love and Faith. Sony should release it again in CD. There are many others out there she made that are terrific. Garden of Prayer (1966) is pure gospel and mostly recorded in Chicago in her church, Greater Salem Baptist.

  • Yes, you are correct! Johnny Williams is indeed the same John Williams of Star Wars fame. He made four albums with Mahalia Jackson in 1960.

  • She gives worship a new perspective. Deep conviction and a close relationship with her Father in heaven.

  • Who originally made this song?

  • AMEN to all the comments - this woman was the BEST - COULD U IMAGINE if she had gone SECULAR? A GOD GIVEN GIFT - THAT VOICE - but Mahalia loved God so much she wanted to sing and dedicate her voice to him! She was also the mentor of my favourite all-time singer - Aretha - but Mahalia was UNTOUCHABLE - BY ANYONE - except God himself - RIP Mahalia!

  • A bygone era of a passionate black gospel singer. Her eyes filled with tears, and sometimes they shut because she's just a natural, relax, and expressive when it comes to her singing her love for God. No doubt about it.

  • Mahalia is singing with God's voice... she was out of this world. Makes me cry everytime I listen.

  • She was one of the great voices of the past.

  • god bless her

  • God bless her soul,Hallelujah !

  • Absolutely incredible

  • As I have said before Mahalia Jackson's singing is not so much a performance as an experience.

    She was and still is utterly fabulous.

  • there will never be another Mahalia.

  • Beautiful!!

  • Mother Mahalia was so sincere when she sang. She was'nt just "performing." She was singing to honor the Almighty. May the Lord forever be praised.

  • God came down and touched earth with this song...thank you SOOOOOO much. This has always been my favorite Mahalia Jackson song. Blessings!

  • WOW!!>. I've always loved this song. She did a wonderful job; the best I've heard!

  • Only God could bless someone with a voice like that!

  • When they talk about gifts from God Mahalia Jackson's voice definately falls into that category.

  • mahalia the queeen!!!!

  • I gree with you. Mahalia tore that song up. Praise the Lord. montellia60

  • Primo , Primo , Primo Talent .I thank the creator for her .

  • She tore this song to shreds!!!

  • Wow! What a fervent and expressive contralto! Two thumbs up from here. Jeremiah Jangad (Philippines)

  • dide she not sing this song , wow!!!
