I just found this video and am so glad I did! My parents who both were singers gave me the middle name of Mahalia in honor of Mahalia Jackson. I hope I got just a tiny bit of her talent along with her name! If you'd like, you can hear my version of Silent Night here on YouTube, just search for Lois Mahalia Silent Night. It can't compare to this, I try to bring my own feel to it, but I hope it brings joy to some. Merry Christmas to everyone! And thanks for posting this wonderful song!
It was very hard for a musician to accompany her, because she never the sang a song the same way. She always improved at the the spot, while singing...
Growing up in Mexico, every Xmas this one radio station would play only Xmas music all day long and around midnight each year they would play this song and every year I would wait patiently for it.
Bewegend und zu Herzen gehend. Eine große Sängerin interpretiert ein großes Lied. So schön gesungen habe ich es bisher noch nicht gehört.

This is what "Silent Night" sounds like when you aren't singing it for your fans

Completely agree. This is what sets Mahalia apart from many singers.

Saw her grave two months ago when i went to New Orleans. It was a surreal moment for me, being a big fan of hers.

Actually, I'm glad you posted that. I was wondering if it was still intact after Katrina. Glad to hear it is!

Have you ever heard her sing "Away in a Manger"? I can never get through it without a hard cry. She puts so much feeling into her singing.
