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

When she backs away from the mic, her voice still concusses the arena. That's how powerful and soulful and holy her voice was and is. I tear up every time I see this, and I've seen it over 20x.

How blessed we were to have such a voice inspire us and lift our hearts during some of the most oppressive times in history. May she rest in peace. Her music is a legacy.
