She could have been bigger than Aretha Franklin but her loyalty and love were for her Lord Jesus Christ. I remember the first time I heard her voice and I got goosebumps and cried with joy, a truly angelic voice.
This was a true woman of God. I truly feel her success was because she humbly gave to others. She thought nothing of the fame or the power or the glory. She gave it all to God.
May Her Slumber Be Ever So Peaceful Long Live The Greatest Gospel Singer Of All Times, Rest Well Queen, Your Anointing Is Still Being Heard TIL This Day By All Ages, And You’ll Never Be Forgotten, Heavenly Birthday 10/26/1911🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am Deaf, but I have two hearing aids and I can hear her voice was so beautiful like the Angel. My mother favorite song, "Be still my soul" and I will never forget the song because God is so good. Thank you for the sharing! :-)
Amen.she said ARETHA Franklin mother had a beautiful voice and that ARETHA had a voice like her mother. I'm going but oh mother Mahalia your voice is magnificent. I'd fainted if I'd been there when she sung this.🙏🌟🦋✨🌷💯💯👏👏👏. Neita James.
Well now... not so fast. It just so happens my girlfriend and I made a Mahalia just last month. (Jan. 7th to be precise) But seriously, you are of course correct. I very much love and respect Mrs. Jackson. She truly was one of a kind 💕
True story: I met mahalia at my aunts house in1970; she was very humble and sweet. She asked for writing paper and a pen; gave my sister and me her address and telephone number said, if you ever need me, here's how you can reach me. We never called. She passed away not too long after that. R.I.P Mrs. Jackson♡
R.I.P. to the 9 beautiful souls that died by the hand of evil in Charleston, S.C. July 17, 2015 AME Mother Emmanuel Church. Bring PEACE to the families. Amen!
Today people have to tell you they are annoinated, but Ms. Mahalia Jackson didn't have to tell you, her annoinating is all over her, you can just see God's blessings even before she opens her mouth. Thank you for the post R.I.P. Ms MJ
Preparing to portray Mahalia Jackson in her early years in a musical stage play here in Cleveland Ohio and my God learning more about her and hearing more songs makes me more inclined to attempt to do some justice to the role! She was a jewel before my time but blessing me and doesn’t even know it. Amazing vessel she was
Necie Milt And thank you for beautiful memories of Mahalia Jackson. I was mesmorized by her for so long a time now. I still feel her spirit. I am 78 in 2 months, but if down, I am up-listed by her songs.
It is truly touching that Mahalia felt it was her calling and she states she 'worked hard for the Lord", I don't think I've ever heard that from any of todays spiritual artist. Long are the days of people doing things purely out of love for mankind, her beauty goes unmasked, her souls if forever felt and her spirt is forever present. Thank you Necie for sharing...
I wish I could've met her. She seemed like a beautiful person. You can here the anointing in her voice. She died before my time, but I play her songs a lot when I'm at work and they help me to get through what ever is going on that night. A true soldier that has gone on home.
I met her at our house and since black people couldn't go to hotels. Families hosted them!! I was in awe!! I cried when I heard she had passed!! I am now almost 67 that was 60 years ago!! She was such a gentle, beautiful person!! I still listen tp this day!!
i grew up with my grandma and aunti and every sunday morning Mahalia Jackson was on, i love love her songs. Some people may think it strange that i like her music but she sings with such feeling and emotions. What a Voice!! Thanks for having this video.
So wise, so intelligent, so gifted. I just can’t help but feel that we lost something that we really need today when we lost her. It’s our job to be sure she lives on through her music 🙏🏽, on to the next generations.
She is one of the few who are chosen. Many are called, but few are chosen. The masses 99.9 percent won't make it, like Noah and his family, and Rahab and her family. Just a few. I want to be in the few and serve God daily to the best of my ability. Read your Word aloud daily to 'stay alive and keep the candle of the Lord that is lit inside of you believers'.
Kathleen Simpson Revelation 7:9-12English Standard Version (ESV) After this I looked, and behold, (A)a great multitude that no one could number, (B)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (C)clothed in white robes, with (D)palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, (E)“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and (F)the four living creatures, and they (G)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (H)saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” ////////////// God will get the exact number of saints that he needs no less no more.
Amen and Men go that. Can anyone sing the Lord's prayer the way she did? None..No opera singer. Such feeling and emotion. God bless her and may she RIP perfect peace in the arms of our Creator.
As a young girl I saw the movie "Imitation of Life" and that was when I fell in love with Ms Jackson. Thank you Ms Milt for posting this. It really touched me and brought back some wonderful memories of watching that movie with my late mother. Again, thank you and may God Bless You.
Charles McDonald Yes I have that movie as well. I love it. Haven't watched it in a while so think it's time for an anniversary of it. I have all 2 versions of it, but love Lana Turners version the best with Mahalia Jackson on it in!!
Amen, me too..i love the Lana Turner version better, that is one of the best down to earth movies ever, that movie was touching from start to finish. and still cant stop watching it, Amen..
you have the democratic party to thank for decades of enslaving African Americans and holding them back, and making them feel like they can not contribute to society without the help of the government and its still happening NOW. sorry, just keeping it real.
Mahalia Jackson shouted out at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. At his I have a dream speech at the Washington monument "Tell them about the dream Martin"!🙌🙌
EVER FELT LIKE YOU MET SOMEONE THAT YOU NEVER MET.. BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.. WHAT A POWERFUL WOMAN OF GOD... LOVED HER.. MY MOTHER LISTENED TO HER SONG'S DAY AN NIGHT...
Mother Mahalia Jackson singing The Lord's Prayer has me in tears!! This beautiful woman can make your soul feel joy and know that God is always there no matter what your facing good or bad!! REST IN PARADISE!! 🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
In 1962 I was 11 years old hearing and seeing Mahalia for the first time in a tiny settlement in Rotorua, New Zealand. Have been listening, obsessively, ever since and she has only got better as I came to understand and hear properly her genius.
she was only 61 years old.God was ready for her to come home. She was truly an angel. A angel of music. she was beautiful inside out in. She touch the World Musical. Mahalia Jackson was beautiful and God bless you.RIP.
A truly saintified woman of God. She used her voice to serve the Lord and didn't follow the dollars. So sad that she could not have children because of tumors. My entire childhood my mother taught me about Mahalia Jackson. Her songs were always present in our home.
Christina, not only was she one of your mother's favorite singers, she was the world's favorite gospel singers. I grew up listening to her and fell in love with her. There was no one that could move you like she did. Miss Mahalia was truly blessed by God. I was so lucky to have seen this daughter of Christ in my lifetime. My favorite song is Trouble of the World.
I remember while i was growing up and my mom would have Mahalia singing resounding through the house...I guess you can say i grew up on hearing her sing gospel..I now have grand children and they ask who is that Grandma....i look at them and say "she was the greatest gospel singer there ever was" i love her still today as much as when i was a child ..She will always be the greatest gospel singer to me..Thank you for this wonderful video..!!!
It was a blessing that she was able to sing and be noticed in her time of living! Racism was so strong and in full effect back in her days! But thankfully to the Lord, that she was guarded up by angels! She sung in lil tv movies back then as well..
Mahalia ,was one of my all -time favorite Black Gospel Singers ,God truly Blessed her with a Powerful Voice .Her music and Inspirational Words of Wisdom always Ministered to my heart and brought Tears to my eyes .I miss her alot .RIP Mahalia ,Love Ya Sister.God Bless You.
You know that is surely a good thought!! That would be so good if they made a movie of Mahalia and let Queen Latifah play her. Thanks for your comment.

She truly used her gifts to help and heal people. Ms. Jackson, I thank you for your ministry. Your legacy of love will live on. Your sacrifices has not gone unnoticed. Rest well mother.
Thanks for posting this rare footage. I went to Mahalia's funeral in Chicago as a young girl. I never forgot how Aretha Franklin sang Precious Lord and Coretta Scott King describing how Mahalia was Dr. Martin Luther King's favorite singer. She said, Martin always said "a voice like Mahalia's comes once in a millennium."
My God my God when she sang at the end I couldn't help but shed tears (of joy) especially when she got to "For thine is the kingdom" I got chills right away! My father remembered seeing her funeral procession when he was younger and how the streets were crowded with people. This woman right here is what a true servant of God looks like, u can just feel his holy spirit within her
Mrs Jackson I say this with love in my heart. I lived in your building in Los Angeles. Johnny your brother known to me as MrJackson taught me so many things. I was honored to be in such a place and learn a lot about you from him. The family was good to my aunt, my sister and me and I will always remember your brother Johnny Jackson. Salute to you and everything you stood for while you where amongst the living. Opening up doors for our people and leading a Christian life. I wanna also say Aneeda thank you for keeping it real with me and Albar and Abdul I hope you 2 have grown to be good men. I say it with love and Thanks to the Jackson family especially Mr Jackson who taught me valuable lessons....Vincent 💯🙌🏽
beautiful voice. I've been listening to MJ for about 7 year's I came across her videos on UA-cam back then and so glad I did. I'm blessed by the very best. thank you LORD for the gift you give her God bless everyone of you here and tour comments 😊
That performance of The Lord's Prayer is one of the most thrilling things I have ever heard. I live in New Orleans, and I remember well all the publicity when her funeral was held here, shortly after Louis Armstrong's. They were both icons.
I'd been honored to have been her daughter. My mom played her music .I felt this beautiful lady soul through her music. I just love Mahalia jackson. I know she's at peace Singing in that Heavenly choir. I've dreamed of her It was so real lord like she gave a performance just for me. She was smiling she had on a long light blue dress. It was as if I was there. We talked lord have mercy. One day I want see her. Until then thank God for the videos, the songs.🙏🦋🌟✨. Love. Respect and positivity always . Neita James.
My favorite singer. I grew up listening to her music & learning about her life, music, & her work for the Lord. I had this DVD "Give God The Glory" which documented her 1969 European tour. A true servant of God. Today her voice is still unmatched
Gospel, blues, opera, and classical and a heart to do God's will, wrapped in the body of Mahalia Jackson. So thankful for her music. And, to all the cameras that caught and filmed her. Still gives me goose bumps to hear her sing. That is where the power of God touches me.
I have never felt so honored and humbled to watch a video. It was indeed my honor to sit and watch this footage of Mahalia Jackson. She was truly one of a kind gospel singer and woman of God.
Good lord have mercy on my soul. Bone chlling singing from Mahalia. She was always my favorite gospel singer, but I have never seen her sing like this.
SHE IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GOSPEL SINGER AND HER SINGING ALWAYS TOUCHES ME DEEP DOWN IN MY SOUL. I CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS REMARKABLE WOMAN OF GOD.
Mahalia, your memories is unforgettable, each time I listen to any of my favorite songs in title Just a closer walk with thee.and when I wake up in glory, I become more confident all day.
May our FATHER GOD HAVE MERCY ON THE PITIFUL SOUL THAT CALLED THE WORLDS GREATEST GOSPEL SINGER, EEEVVVEEERRR AN ATHEIST. MY MOTHER, BLESS HER PRECIOUS HEART AND SOUL,
Thank you for sharing this, she was one person that keeps my heart wanting more of Jesus Christ 🙏💘
Momma wearin' that mink! She went from poverty to being a multimillionaire. And she was humble and compassionate too. What a beautiful soul!
One of the World's greatest singers ever lived!!
Amen to that! Thanks for commenting!
Amen and Amen
She could have been bigger than Aretha Franklin but her loyalty and love were for her Lord Jesus Christ. I remember the first time I heard her voice and I got goosebumps and cried with joy, a truly angelic voice.
Yes she could have. I definitely agree!! She was not for sale Hallelujah!!! She belonged to God and stayed with God!!
Mahalia is one of Aretha's biggest inspiration. Mahalia is also one of women who raised Aretha on her childhood and also become her mentor.
This was a true woman of God. I truly feel her success was because she humbly gave to others. She thought nothing of the fame or the power or the glory. She gave it all to God.

This woman right here is what a true servant of God looks like, u can just feel his holy spirit within her
Thanks so much for your comment. The way she sings the Prayer sure does bring chills!! Its just something about the way Mahalia sings it!!!!
Mrs Jackson I say this with love in my heart. I lived in your building in Los Angeles. Johnny your brother known to me as MrJackson taught me so many things. I was honored to be in such a place and learn a lot about you from him. The family was good to my aunt, my sister and me and I will always remember your brother Johnny Jackson. Salute to you and everything you stood for while you where amongst the living. Opening up doors for our people and leading a Christian life. I wanna also say Aneeda thank you for keeping it real with me and Albar and Abdul I hope you 2 have grown to be good men. I say it with love and Thanks to the Jackson family especially Mr Jackson who taught me valuable lessons....Vincent 💯🙌🏽
Gifted & Loved...Mahalia sung as if she was preaching...if only I could have met you. Your voice lives on forever💜‼️

That performance of The Lord's Prayer is one of the most thrilling things I have ever heard. I live in New Orleans, and I remember well all the publicity when her funeral was held here, shortly after Louis Armstrong's. They were both icons.
It most certainly is!! I really appreciate your comment. Thank you!! 🙏🏼🥰
I'd been honored to have been her daughter. My mom played her music
.I felt this beautiful lady soul through her music. I just love Mahalia jackson. I know she's at peace
Singing in that Heavenly choir. I've dreamed of her
It was so real lord like she gave a performance just for me. She was smiling she had on a long light blue dress. It was as if I was there. We talked lord have mercy. One day I want see her. Until then thank God for the videos, the songs.🙏🦋🌟✨. Love. Respect and positivity always . Neita James.
My favorite singer. I grew up listening to her music & learning about her life, music, & her work for the Lord. I had this DVD "Give God The Glory" which documented her 1969 European tour. A true servant of God. Today her voice is still unmatched
Thanks so much for your great comment!!!
at the end when she sings that song it brings u to tears💙❤💗💋💖💟
Gospel, blues, opera, and classical and a heart to do God's will, wrapped in the body of Mahalia Jackson. So thankful for her music. And, to all the cameras that caught and filmed her. Still gives me goose bumps to hear her sing. That is where the power of God touches me.
My parents and grandparents loved this woman. I grew up listening to this lady.
I LOVE THIS LADY SONGS THEY DONT SING LIKE THIS ANYMORE.PRAISE GOD
Ms. Jackson remained who is was- A CHILD OF GOD!
