  • She appears slimmer here . . . good form.

  • Another great Christian (GK Chesterton) said of a third (Dickens) that a good and happy man sings, and when he cannot sing he shouts. I was reminded of that line by this song. Not only was Miss Jackson the greatest there will ever be, she also leaves a strong sense of being a good and a happy person. She lived in the light.

  • @badgalfray The Newport Jazzz Festival is outside of Cinncinnati, Ohio on the Kentucky side of the river.

  • She hums better than most "stars" sing today. LOL.  She is incredibly unparalleled!

  • Live performances like this are the only times Hallie was freed from the musical shackles imposed on her---which Hallie accepted---at Columbia; this footage is the REAL Hallie---which Apollo gave to the world much earlier---undiluted and raw.

  • mahalia had good hair and yes thats her hair, if u read up on her hair,you'll find in majority of her biographies she did her own hair as she owned a salon with her house on top of it in Chicago as well as on two other properties a townhouse that was built like a new orleans house red brick with a white balcony and a house located at 8358 s indiana chicago illinois very beautiful home google it they got it 4 sale....

  • No that is Ms. Jackson's hair, she had such thick and long hair.

  • @dieunous

    It appears to be a two-piece wig.

  • I love Mahalia's singing, but what does she have on her head? Is it a wig or a hat?

  • Lord have mercy..!!... Sing Mama....!!!
