A great example of poor self esteem and desperation....She says she has a happy home, yet she is taking car of that man....he's a kept man....I hope that in 2012 this song can be used in Black history but I hope this is not what women see as the norm !

I sponsored Bessie in concert while I was in medical school and we became great friends...she was also an awesome cook. I loved her pork chop sandwiches. Definitely one of the greatest contraltos in American music.....and she could "moan and move a mountain!"

I saw this movie in a segregated theater in Brinkley, Ark. Needless to say there was very little eye contact between the Blacks and Whites as we came out of the separate exits of the theater. Mahalia's singing was awesome...one of the greatest contraltos in American music !
