We shall overcome--very moving she gets totally saturated with the song, even at the end as she walks from the mic the power of her voice is still overwhelming. This song was a staple of the civil rights movement, Mahalia worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King. She also sang Precious Lord at his funeral in 1968

Gosple music itself has the ability to change things. When paired with a voice like mahalias it has the ability too change hearts and the world. All we have to do is listen
It's not racial, it's cultural. I'm old enough to remember when both black and white people, and audiences, were much more reserved and even stiff. Absolutely.
Also, can you imagine listening to Mahalia singing this song, live and in-person, and then having someone stick a camera in your face to "capture your emotional response". Of course they were uncomfortable.
Listen to the applause at the end if you wonder if the people "heard" Mahalia.
@mallcolmx silly stuff who has the feeling for good music, can feel every music , black or white is only a colour, only who wants , interprets more purely. nice Christmas and a Happy New Year for everybody
Some folks consider it more respectful to sit and listen, letting the artist have the stage. Not everybody expresses their appreciation in the same way. If you look into the faces of these people you'll see their fascination ... But, you'll have to see beyond the color of their skin -- try it!
A couple of points. This was in a church. Secondly, it was in Sweden where they revered Mahalia Jackson, as they did in in Norway at a time when in ghe good ol' USA Mahalia had to use segregated hotels, cafes and transport. So I'd come out with less of the white folks don't get it crap. Also see Mahalia in West Berlin where she was phenomally popular and in her sell out concerts in England at the same period. White folk in England were appreciating Tamla and Soul long before whites in America.

Well said, friend. Well said.
If we had more intelligent people like you in this country, slavery would (wud) surely have never existed.
