WOW I have been searching for someone that sings this song with heart and soul and Queen Lady Mae rocks it!!! Love that heart felt bluesy voice.She did this song justice!!!
BLACK HISTORY has given me much STRENGTH, HOPE, and COURAGE!!! There is such a special meaning in the words and how she sings it from the SOUL!!!!! DEEP DOWN from the HEART!
As soon as she started singing, her voice went straight to the heart of me. I could feel her voice in my bones. I know that voice...I know that voice! That's the voice of OUR AFRICAN FOREMOTHERS.
Brilliant !!! What a magnificent voice with so much soul. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. I feel honored to have heard you sing this song :)
I listen to this song and my heart weeps for the fact that we so easily forget where we are coming from. This kind of music reminds me that my life has never been easy and therefore I take pride in renditions like these that keeps me in the know that life is a continuous struggle and we must seek to embrace the path that took us here. My final thought, a beautiful and strong black woman with a beautiful voice. God Bless
God dosent see a "black women" singing. he see's a women. comments like this are why segregation is still alive. Because you choose to believe your different. Dont use comments lik e"God Bless" when its in vain because your praising a color over another. There wont be colors in heaven.
Beautiful voice...classic voice. This is the way the song was intended to be sung. People who are leaving negative comments probably haven't been exposed to this raw soul singing before. This is so fabulous. Truly gifted! :-)
I got it Mahalia Jackson is who you remind me of!!

I wish that people would stop embracing the word "diva." It means "impossible person." Of course, everyone chooses words, no one uses the dictionary to look up their definitions. Your voice is too fabulous. You don't need to be associated with the word. Her voice is haunting, lilting and stirring. She reminds me of Oleta Adams with a higher range.
@ladyg0726 thanks for your kind and real heart felt remarks, everbody does not acknowledge talent when they see it or they just get jealous and say rude things, but I, "Queen lady Mae" says to you God Bless You in every walk of your life.
This was very different and unique but she does not I repeat she does not sing like Mahalia Jackson are you serious? It was good but honey no one can do Mahalia remind you of yes but sound hell to the no
And what I love is that you actually sing the song as it was sung in the 1840s.
The original was not sung like Aretha Franklin or Whitney Houston. This is 100% soul, loving the blue notes like there's no shame. And the amazing thing is you still end in the same western key that you began in after owning every midtone pitch on the scale for five minutes.
Thanks so much, it is always good when someone special recognizes your gift.. do go on my blog and listen to an excerpt from my new cd. I am also prepareing to release an aqepella cd, just my voice and a very small amount of sound affects. I am an indie artist, my dream is to perform with the top notch artist soon..
If you have put out a CD please let me know--I would love to buy it!
