Mahalia Jackson on the Johnny Cash Show

Mahalia Jackson blows the roof off the Grand Ol' Opry with this rafter-rattling performance from February 24, 1971. Even Cash keeps out of her way; he's happy to introduce her and get the hell off the stage.

What an awesome voice! If Heaven and Earth are linked by music, she was one of the strongest links in the chain. Great post from a superb voice, not only in Gospel, but all music! 5*****

If God himself personally commissioned someone to sing His praises, He'd have picked Mahalia Jackson. She will always be that good.

It does my heart good to hear Mahalia Jackson what a wonderful lady she was. I feel closer to my Lord every time I hear her God Bless

This was gospel singing in it's purest form. Most of todays gospel singers seem so fake and worldly after hearing this lady and the authencity in her voice coming from her heart. Tears in my eyes.

I really love seeing someone like her who really loves the lord Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross for our sins being raised from the dead. She really has faith in him, nothing fake.

Thank God for women like this who truly love the lord Jesus Christ. You know she really believes in his dying on the cross for our sins. She knows his grace is sufficient.
