[callasforalltid]

När jag hör Mahalia mins jag alla stunder då mamma och jag förundrades över hennes fantastiska röst! Varken Mamma eller Mahalia finns inte mer men minnet lever kvar hos mig och det är gott!!

Thank you so much for uploading this.

Mahalia has long been a favorite singer of mine. Her singing deeply touches your heart. I especially love hearing her sing this particular carol.

Brava Mahalia! Rest in peace among the angels.

Merry Christmas

[big206]

I remember my parents used to play this song at christmas. Brings back good memories...

[profboxer]

It reminds me back on my younger years.

[Catnip1964]

One of my favorite songs at Christmas time

[adrianamats]

The greatest gospel voice!,with love from Sweeden

[eagleswing44]

[1973anetka]

[damonaz6]

this is why she is the GREATEST GOSPEL SINGER, ... LOVE Ms. MAHALEA JACKSON

[MisterPapageno]

Her voice is awesome!

[tallladyjay]

Her voice brings me a kind of comfort I can't explain and I know I love the Lord when I listen to Mahalia, a fact I question from time to time!!! This is my favorite hymn; my favorite singer of this hymn, and I listen to everyone who sings it; but none compare to Mahalia. Some people should sing for eternity!!!

[gothmum73]

I love Jackson,and this song is just lovely,it always brings a wee tear to my eye

[missphyggie]

Amazing Mahalia Jackson. "Thank YOU Dear Lord for blessing our lives with her amazing, heaven-sent gift!" Long lives her influence and voice!!!! Splended! Beautiful! Magnificent! Anointed! AWESOME!

[sjseeba]

[1RAHRAH]

[LAWoman323213]

This is one of the few places on YouTube where people aren't arguing about nonsense. Those who listen to this song truly know what real music is. Truly beautiful!

[MrMinkajajany]

priceless

[nickaponzi]

Wow!

[LSaro6965]

Simply speechless.....now THAT is pure TALENT!!!!

[sheikaa18]

I love Mahalia , my grandmother looked just like her.

[LMLeBoeuf63]

Oh, how she touches my soul. She sings with her heart. This has always been one of my favorites, but the way Mahalia sings this takes me back as if I were there to behold such a wondrous sight. The birth of the New Born KING. Thank you or sharing this.

[bakerboi23]

Simply beautiful.

[Sigbue98]

I have loved her and her voice since a small girl. This is how this song should be sang.

[62Elvis]

Simply BEAUTIFUL! jimmy swaggart & elvis presley were huge fans too.

[Balickia]

get goosebumps when i hear this song:-) the essence of christmas carols.

[mutal3]

only 20 000 hits! dont understand it

[Billinindiana]

@mutal3 the world is a mess. Probably if it doesn't involved making tons of money, the world isn't interested. It's a fine performance from a fine soul. Popular culture isn't a good measure of enduring quality. We know the difference though. Be happy.

[blancmel21]

God gave Mahalia an amazing gift. Every so often an angelic voice is sent down to uplift humanity. Mahalia resides among the angels.

[kjjmac]

Growing up,we used to go to midnight mass,and my dad would play Mahalia Jackson's Christmas album. This song sung by Ms. Jackson could convert Muslims,I swear!

[ahmadg871]

My grandmother is a big fan of Mahalia Jackson Type in Marie Guillian by Mahalia Jackson

[mom22plus2]

Truly the voice of one of God's angels.

[ahmadg871]

[wsj0301]

[skjalgea]

Her voice is magnificent.. Only Jussi Björling can do it as good as her.

[mrfungo]

I've had this album on vinyl; bought it in the 70s...powerful stuff!

[TTFSFireman]

O Holy Night has always been my favorite Christmas Carol and nobody sings it the way Mahalia does. Everytime I hear the song I always measure it against Mahalia's version and none can surpass her.

[ladystorm61]

Thank you for posting this.  Brought back a lot of wonderful childhood memories...

[ThePwog]

Mahalia was the real thing. I absolutely adore her. As an agnostic I'm deeply touched by her faith, and her beautiful soul. This was a rare woman. She makes me want to believe.

[iamwearingakaccha]

@ThePwog That's what music does,the fact that you want to believe is enough,and her job is done,there's nothing to loose if you believe...nothing,have faith and good luck

[MartinKronback]

@ThePwog I love her "My Friend". I just watched it. Brought me to tears.

[stargannon]

everytime I hear this I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes..she was such a blessed gift.

[stebcat]

@stargannon Amen!

[ladyshizziemac52]

@stargannon ITS NOT GOOSEBUMPS ITS YOUR SOUL!

[Floweramamama]

Magnificent!
