  • Aretha is indeed, The "Queen of Soul" and sang this version wonderfully.

    Mahalia however can make the Devil himself get up and shout with the feeling, soul and life she put into her original version. Mahalia after all is the mold from which the greatest gospel singers of all time were made (Including Aretha, the Hawkins Family, Andrea Crouch and more ...).

    Both are good but, Mahalia Jackson's is Great!

  • I just don't know how anyone can say one is better than the other. Mahalia and Aretha speak/sing different messages equally powerful. Mahalia was truly a rare transcendent soul; Aretha is like the rest of us . . . struggling to make ourselves whole. Regardless of what anyone believes, Aretha never forgets her roots; her foundation; her salvation. And that, alone, is what makes her so great.

  • @danieblu You are correct. God bless you and May Heaven shine upon you.

  • How can I save a video from here to my cell?

  • Respond to this video... Yeah, the old school gospel will bring one home, but I understand that back in those days technology was not like it is today. I am impressed with how they manage to bring sound and picture together. Holla.
