One of my all-time favorite songs by Mahalia. She died the year my oldest daughter was born in 1972. My biggest regret is that I never got to see her in concert, but my mama did. Lucky her. She is the one that turned me onto her music through the movie, "Imitation of Life." This woman could make you cry when she sang. There will not ever be another one like her. She is gonna lead the heavenly choir. Im going to heaven and get me a front-row seat.
This song has been stuck in my head for weeks. And I thought I was pulling it from a false memory. When I was in grade school, 5th or 6th grade, we learned this song in music class, and we sang it along with several other grade school music classes. Nice to know it's not only real, but song by Mahalia Jackson.
all i can say is beautiful,i was in the supermarket and bought all of her dvd"S that was on the counter for my boss,myself,my mama,my daddy, and my uncle.she is the best gospel artist ever,long live the queen of gospel.i am 50 years old and was 2 years old when she passed, I've seen footage of her many of times though.i can see ,she was the best.smile.
This brings back memories of my grandmother and mother cooking Sun. dinner. When this came on, we all would sing as loud as we could. Even as a child I recognized this as a beautiful song, sung by gospels BEST ever songstress.
In my most humble opinion NO ONE could exalt our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the way Sis Mahalia did with that excellent, powerful voice with which He gifted her! I feel the Holy Ghost Cheerios vibrating within my spirit when she sings praises to Him, for He ALONE is worthy and it's obvious she KNEW Him and is with Him now!❤❤❤
Love her voice and how she puts her whole heart into it. Incomparable unique style. She believes in and relates to all the lyrics. No equal. Her phrasing so inspired she makes you feel every word
I get older...... Music is nothing but vibrations melding together with our individual life forces creating harmony for the listener and power for the interpreter.
Man I got to sing this in both high school and college choir. My college music professor, the incomparable Gene Nichols, I am sure Would have had this recording! For half a second I wondered just now why he didn't show it to us, then I think yup, I was dangerously loud and off on my own tangents as was, this would have made me truly dangerous! All the glory to God in thanks such a treasure was sent to show us how to praise Him.
The World's 🌎 Greatest Gospels 🎤. Thank You God for sharing the of Mahalia Jackson with us .But the greatest gift that you gave to humanity was your son Jesus 🕊 Christ Amen 🙏 January 8,2023
2021 love this song Mahalia movie lifetime bought me here yes indeed Danial Brooks is awesome she played that role I loved her in orange is the new black as well
@melotone I don't think lip syncing on TV became popular until music videos hit big (late sixties-early seventies?). Until then, performers sang, dance, and just genuinely were able to entertain.
@Joannawysiwyg Hey there Joanna, This was from a series of 81 recordings titled "Mahalia Jackson Sings" from 1961 and produced by CBS. I believe you can still purchase them today (search Amazon or eBay).
Thank goodness this was not lip synced. Though I wonder if CBS really wanted it performed live? Anybody know? Especially when so very many acts had to lip sync on tv. Thank you for posting this!
My mom sing the song JUST like this. I miss her singing this she doesn’t sing anymore and in the family I guess it’s up to me to remember how to sing the song🥺 I just wanna hear my mom shout again!
@1joker88 Check out all the youtubes of the Beatles, Animals, Stones, Yardbirds, Byrds - all the teenage dance shows were almost all lip-synched. Very early on - '64+. The Beatles' Ed Sullivan stuff is all the more amazing 'cause they played live.
Who's here randomly listening to this in 2021!?
There's just no one like her! Such a rich voice and masterful delivery. Exceptional!

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad
There is no honor in adultery, false humility, and lying.
God help all who buy the lie. Mahalia sang about the true Lord by the One Spirit. We know Him and we hear His voice!
