Notice Mahalia Jackson singing GOSPEL MUSIC at a Jazz Festival. This women NEVER compromised her singing for the Lord no matter were or with who. Any secular artist that sung with her sung GOSPEL. I wish there was 1 gospel artist today that could pick up her mantle.
I totally agree with you 👍these so called Gospel Artists is too worldly, Mahalia lived true to what she sang about. No compromise with her, strictly Gospel Music 🙏...
Myself included! Grew up on her angelic voice from my mom's CDs! Still got them. Very grateful to have such a saint sing a song with my name in it and preaching the holy word through song!
Yes,Sir my grandson name is Elijah,that name is powerful.I sang this song to my grandson All the time!!!!!!! Elijah was a powerful prophet in the bible..Elijah called on our God it rained down fire. ...The Bible states that Elijah didn't die,he walked or was taken into heaven....
I sang this song to my son, Elijah since he was born. I only wished I could have sung it with half the voice that Mahalia had!! Her vocals were truly a gift from God
Correction on the pianist. Her name is Gwendolyn Cooper Lightner and she is my mother. She was her pianist off and on for years, mainly when she’d come to LA and permanently for the last four years of her life after Ms Falls retired.
@DrV, are appreciating how your mother set that cadence. The Mighty Mahalia looked over at your mother and okay baby, you showed me the way, I’ll take over now.
I saw the movie on Lifetime last night and she was a trailblazer!! God used her gift in a powerful way!! God sent His Word through her on the world's biggest stages. She spread the message of the Gospel everywhere and you feel The Holy Spirit move in her songs!! She said that she wasn't singing anything other than Gospel and she gave all the glory to God for her amazing gift. I'm glad I had the chance to see that movie because it gave me insight on how amazing she was.
If anyone was an ear shot of her singing i believe they got healings both spiritually and physically, Evil spirits were cast out then opening the listeners hearts to salvation as well. I think she was spiritually ministered to during her singing bc her eyes were closed as if spiritually in a heavenly dimension so her heart was in accordance with those prayers around her as well.as a coduent to JC, Angels and maybe G-d too. Visualizing the peoples needs worries and home and healings to them
Yessss 2022 When you facing terrible times you have to reach back and grab hold on to something for sure that you know was Anointed/ Appointed/ Ordained By God Himself . Ms Mahailia is the Real Deal. Rest In Power 🤗
Never heard about her until I seen the preview of the lifetime movie and just from her presence rn seeing her for the first time I could tell she was a anointed woman with a powerful voice beautiful presence also beautiful as well and her voice tells the story and not to mention my favorite actor and singer is playing her in the movie so I'm glad to hear and see something new about someone I didn't know about great history
Mahalia Jackson was a beast and the precursor to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and both were precursor to the greatest singer of all time the late great Whitney Houston. May all three Rest In Peace knowing their great voices will continue to be heard as long as this earth has ears to hear.
I love Whitney but lol WHAT?!. Whitney was the greatest pop/soul singer and easily one of the best of her generation but the greatest of all time? LMAO that would mean the greatest in EVERY genre and she didn't delve into a lot of other genres. She is absolutely not the best in Jazz, Blues,Funk, Rock, Opera, Soul, or Broadway. As for gospel, well, plenty stand toe to toe with her. She was definitely anointed though.
@@JaySmith-mz7vg you obviously never saw her live and please name those gospel artists that could go toe to toe or who you deem based on all genres were greater than Whitney.
@@gradyponds5237 I've seen her live and I'm not denying her gift, she was phenomenal. However, Black Americans have influenced every facet of American music and produced way too many vocalists to deem just one the greatest. Greater in Jazz than Ella, Sarah Vaughan and Lady Day? Better than Leontyne price, Jessye Norman and Marian Anderson in Opera? The Blues of Dinah Washington, Etta James and Nina Simone? Absolutely not. I can respect your opinion that you think she's the greatest of all time but nah.
@@JaySmith-mz7vg has anyone called those great singers the greatest, not that I’ve heard. Whitney’s cousin Leotyne Price called her the greatest, LA Reid has called her the greatest, Clive Davis has, Anita Baker has, Celine Dion has, Elton John has, Babyface has, Yolanda Adams has,Kim Burrell has and Micheal Jackson who I believe to be the greatest entertainer of all time said “she is the only person he has heard past or present who could sing the phone book and make it sound great”. So I am not alone.
Okay everybody here's the deal. When she first started the concert her wig didn't look like that. But she's so animated that by the time this song came around she shook all the curls loose. Trust me I know this for a fact!
Elijah Rock, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Elijah Rock, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Elijah, Elijah, Elijah Elijah, Elijah, Elijah Satan is a liar and a conjurer too If you don't mind high, he'll come to you If I could, I surely would Stand on the rock where Moses stood Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Ezekiel said he saw him Wheel in the mid' of a wheel John talked about him In the book of the seven seals Some say the Rose of Sharon Others say the Prince of Peace But I can tell this old world He been a rock and a shelter for me Hallelujah Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord You can call my rock in the morning Call him late at night He's always with me And all my battles he'll fight When I'm in trouble I can call him on the line He put a telephone in my heart And I can call God anytime Hallelujah Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock I'm comin' up, Lord You can call my rock in the morning Call him late at night He's always with me All my battles he'll fight When I'm in trouble I can call him on the line He got a telephone in my heart And I can call God anytime Hallelujah Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock comin' up, Lord Elijah Rock, shout, shout, shout Elijah Rock I'm comin' up, Lord

Anyone named Elijah should be so thankful to have their name sung from the mouth of the greatest gospel singer that ever lived.
She’s talking about Elijah from the Bible lol
@@lyricsoftheart I know that. But there are mortal people named Elijah living today.
Myself included! Grew up on her angelic voice from my mom's CDs! Still got them. Very grateful to have such a saint sing a song with my name in it and preaching the holy word through song!
Amen!!!! ha!
Yes,Sir my grandson
name is Elijah,that name is powerful.I sang this song to my grandson All the time!!!!!!!
Elijah was a powerful prophet in the bible..Elijah called on our God it rained down fire. ...The Bible states that Elijah didn't die,he walked or was taken into heaven....
I'm here from the Mahalia Jackson movie and this just became my favorite song from the movie 🙃❤️
It was good.
It was awesome I watch it twice
Right, mine too.. it was felt in my soul
It was such a good movie.
Sameeee
My cousin name is Elijah and I always sang this song to him. That pianist is killing it, my grandmother loved Mahalia Jackson. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 answers my question about the pianist. Thank you.

No singer ever came CLOSE to this Legend!
Absolutely right!! She lived what she Sang🙏
I can’t stop playing this. This woman was in a separate category.
Lifetime movie brought me here. I absolutely love this song. I admired how she stay committed to Lord and didn't follow what others wanted her to do
They made a movie about it till now? She has a film about her? I had no idea
@@adonaiyah2196 Yes. It’s a Lifetime Movie. It was really good
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 HD Colorrrr Yah!!♥️♥️♥️
❤️ Mahalia ‼️ Trouble of the world always has me 😭😭

Danielle Brooks did an AMAZING job!
She sure did!! She immersed herself in that role!

She was a mentor to Aretha and Mavis Staples - and others I'm sure - the QUEEN of Gospel Music!
My mom still listens to Mahalia’s albums (old school)
Yessss 2022 When you facing terrible times you have to reach back and grab hold on to something for sure that you know was Anointed/ Appointed/ Ordained By God Himself . Ms Mahailia is the Real Deal. Rest In Power 🤗
Even her humming is fantastic ☺️
Lord have Mercy. You could tell how much pain she was in but she carried through with her performances. RIP Mahalia...She was the greatest
The movie was so good. Mahalia Jackson was the truth and a Queen. That woman that played her pianist was great too!
5 years later. Malia could belt it out without even getting winded! And her RANGE was incredible!!
You better sing woman , just piano and her voice.. Amazing
Organist & pianist on point 👌👌
A divine contralto she was. Unforgettable!
My God I need a time machine
I love this song ❤
My mama raised me on ms mahalia and I just love her ❤️
I'm trying to figure out how they got a 1970 film so crisp on youtube and my 2021 video quality be struggling! 🙄😒🤣😂
35 mm film is always better than digital
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
@@stevencorrea6946 yeah but its really true that digital is generally clearer 35mm might be sentiment to you but digital is clear
I did a project on her in school, I didnt know she sang this song. We sang this in chorus in school
Robin Roberts Presents: MAHALIA brought me here!
Me too watching how great she was
Me too
Yesss

Ralph Jones on the organ kept that tight syncopation!
I thought Ralph Jones passed in the early 60s. Ralph was used to play at first church of deliverance Chicago Il.

I get chills listening to Mahalia Jackson. Anyone know the pianist and organist names?
The pianist was Mildred Falls.
@@timmy841212 Falls
@@lukehamilton6681 Thanks
By 1970 Mildred Falls and Mahalia had parted company. That is actually Louise Weaver on piano. Their styles are a bit different.
@@rodneymurray8330 Oh okay! Thanks for clarification. 🙂
Now I see where Myron Butler got "Set Me Free" from 😲😲👀👀👀👀👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽🤝🏾🎹 somebody got ya "bounce" right Mahalia 🤣🤣😉😉😎

Lmaoo
I don’t know, all I could do was watch her sing 🎶 Go Mahalia❤️ Annointed🌸
S/O to Mildred 👍🏿🔥
That’s Gwendolyn Cooper Lightner on piano.
@@mopiehoward54 Then SO to HER!
Much respect for Mahalia, but what's going on with the hair?
Like many of the artists in this era, they wore wigs. Big hair. Some of the pins fell out, but she kept performing
It was also outdoors & began raining. But Mahalia was known for giving it her all & would typically shake her wigs loose!
Yeah at the beginning of the concert it was tight and styled but as she gets to sangin and shoutin...
Okay everybody here's the deal. When she first started the concert her wig didn't look like that. But she's so animated that by the time this song came around she shook all the curls loose. Trust me I know this for a fact!
@@drv2999 yeah you never saw her lookin a mess!
Whats the name of the man playin piano?
where is Miss Falls?
The guys playing the organ but I don't hear it LOLOL I think they unplugged his organ cables haha
Nope Ralph Jones had a very subtle sound and touch at the organ

Is it Just me or Mahalia Jackson and Juanita Bynum look a like and sound the same?😳
It’s just you 😂 Juanita is a little more nasal than Mahalia. Mahalia has that brassy tone to her voice
oh, defnly just you: Mahalia's once is one-of-a kind; there's no one who can imitate or sound like her
