@eatherdrive Only one Mahalia!!!!

@castlecoop Next to Jeff??? Even Jeff, himself, preferred he 'version' over his own. Which might explain why he 'borrowed' her vocal stylings for his 'version'. I'm a major Jeff Buckley admirer, but let's keep things in perspective here, please. Mahalia Jackson RULES.

@theyself I have read that Buckley did cover this version of the song. Your instincts are good. :)

With this mix of country and quartet music, Mahalia disguises her hard-core gospel heritage to get the message over to listeners of such genres.
Truly she expresses her Christian character as she loans her voice to genres of other or unknown beliefs.
This goes out to Gods Leading Lady, Ms. Mahalia Jackson. "I can't wait to meet you and let you know that your account with God is still earning INTEREST here on earth." So it is a true saying: Whatever you do for Christ will stand!
Praise God

listen to the justin vernon version of this song.. its great!

I love Jeff Buckley and his version of this song. After hearing various versions of the song, however, it seems that Buckley's phrasing on his version might have been based on Jackson's phrasing here. I could be wrong about that, but there seems to be great similarity between them.
Is there anything thiss woman can't sing without sending shivers through your soul. What a voice.
