I can remember watching Mahalia on TV in the sixties I appreciate the music more now that I am a lot older what a great singer.

true Gospel bar none! A beautiful voice!
I often find myself wondering how Mahalia felt toward the end of her life, in her final few years, when she was only in her late 50s. Her beloved Dr. King had died in 1968 and her own health was failing. Did she feel discouraged? Possibly. But she kept going on, strong in her faith in God and always wanting to uplift and encourage others through her music and ministry. Here we are, nearly four decades after her death, still being uplifted. It's as though she never really left.
