This is Mahalia's ORIGINAL recording of "Lord Don't Move The Mountain." I believe it's from 1958. Composed by Doris Akers and Mahalia Jackson.

  • It sounds like something else to me lol! Pray for me!!! Sang Hailey lol!

  • You're crazy!! Really! But anyway, the intro always sounded like Cab Calloway's song, "Minnie The Moocher" to me.

  • I just love this song, but anytime I listen to it, I wonder, who in the world came up with that intro? "HAA-mmmm, HAA-mmmm!" Perhaps the arranger was a little congested that morning and thought after a while, "Well hey, this sounds pretty good!"

  • Lol!! I like the effect it gives...like they're climbing up that mountain! Sho'nuff!

  • I respect Mahalia's and Doris Akers' recordings of this, but think I prefer Inez Andrews' - a different take, more upbeat and 'in-your-face' blues...

  • @hymn214

    It can be found on "iamlikeasea"'s channel.

  • i love Mahaila the depth of soul and integrity of her work speaks for itself and it riles me to NO end -- when they compare contemporary novices to her name let alone her talent... shame on u ...

  • love it my greatgrandpa sang this song alot

  • her voice is really awesome !

    i really luv this great version !

    Yhks for sharing

  • I absolutely adore this song.......... in my soul it is ringing some kind of truth - thank you! xXx

  • Incredible! Wonderful version although I'm not a fan of the noises in the begining, Mahalia takes again our breath away...she uses also her voice in a very different manner than usual, and surprises me again!

  • As all ways, "The Mother of Gospel" has given another great performance of what her talent was made of...(A Giift From God) natural as one could be.

  • Awsome
