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.

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.

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

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?
