  • I can't say it enough. She was and is the greatest gospel singer. I'm impressed with her physical presence on stage. She once said "the audience has been my family." She meant it. She also said "there will never be another Mahalia." To date she is right.

  • Yes this video is so crystal clear. It looks like she sang yesterday!

  • Hi, Mahalia was saying at :28 she was telling Eddie Robinson to play "Come on children lets sing" the title of the song she is singing. He didnt realize she was coming out to perform the same song again. Hence the couple of bars he played not knowing what she was going to do. Thats Mahalia

  • @Espen1983

    Lol, she said the title of the song to make sure that's what he was playing the intro' to.

  • What is she saying at 0:28?

    I think it sounds like 'I'm gonna play it up*

    As to tell the piano-player to keep up the tempo... Amazingly sweeet!

  • @khalil4ulove I love all her work during those last years. She pulled herself through in great form. She tried new things yet clung to the old. Great artist!

  • She lived until 1972; this concert was in 1967. Don't forget about 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971

  • imeant shortly after

  • yup she died after this concert

  • When I watch this footage. I just cry b/c she was involved in health battles and a second divorce from her husband Sigmund Galloway. Yet in spite of all of these issues, Mahalia sings the Gospel b/c she knows "her God will never turn His Back on Her"!!!!!!

  • I really think Mahalia was being herself here. She could become "happy" over her music and her God.  She thought enough of this song to entitle a chapter in her autobiography, "Movin' On Up" with the same song title.
