  • @gregmonts: Thanks.

  • @Zunelander Its kind of a standard. But it stems from the stage play Porgy and Bess

  • Is this a gospel medley or some other genre?

  • wonderful ..Elvis favourite gospel singer ..Elvis does a great version of motherless child ....

  • Heart & soul. Perhaps the best version I have heard of Summertime. And this is the best You Tube by Mahalia I have heard so far. Wonderful.

  • They way she rocks in the chair and holds her self reminds me of my grandmother:)

  • what a powerhouse of talent this woman was. her voice instills me with such a sense of wonder, comfort and strength. one of the greatest singers in the history of recorded music, of any genre. period.

  • no voice can match this

  • What control and such a range is truly a gift!

    RIP Mahalia, we still love and listen ...

  • heard that she sang this in memory of a 14 year old black boy who was murdered by racists. .
