Here is another gem from my VHS archives. Our gospel Queen Mahalia Jackson as she appeared in 1957 singing on the Nat King Cole show. Listen to that voice so pure and powerful.

  • I've watched a lot of huge choirs perform this in different variations and absolutely no one comes close to this woman, who single-handedly tops them all by just standing there :D. It's such an amazingly powerful and energetic performance.

  • Questa è una regina del canto...

  • @caketheory I'm a muslim, and I'm not entirely sure if we believe in the story of Jericho, but I know that I like this song when anyone sings this because it is epic and catchy, lol. I'm going to sing it in a very formal performance whose name I recall not. I am a musician (I do composing, singing, instruments and working on learning how to DJ), but all this music that I learn is going to be applyed when I become an islamic performer, with varied-genre music about islam.

  • The story of Jericho is about people trying to oppose the Almighty God in battle. We are all walls of Jericho around each other.... humans. But with God we can each be Joshua fitting the battle of Jericho around us. better sing along this lady..

  • Joshua Fit the battle of cherry cola lol

  • it's very very good

  • amazing!!! you can call it grace...

    

  • @caketheory ew really? that's pretty fucked up. I keep saying a lot of beautiful music comes out of gospel, but what a terrible shame it is that so many people have to look to imaginary sources for powerful inspiration instead of things that actually matter in life like love, family and friendship. and to top it off this one is about mass murder? that's just gross. well she sings amazing though.
