I left religion years ago and no longer consider myself a member of any religion or denomination. I'm spiritual, but do not belong to any religion. But this woman takes me back to my roots, back to the foundation of my youth. Quite comforting.
She passed away 51 years ago. I was 6 months old. I'm glad I am able to hear her music, her talent and dedicated life to our Lord. I could ask myself why didn't I find her sooner in my early years of singing? but until now? in my 50's? (51).God really works in mysterious ways. This sister is already an inspiration to me. I just heard two songs and heard her for about 20 minutes talking about how to serve the lord and she has inspired me already.
Just listening to her speak for the first time in my life, but I can see that she was New Orleans to the bone! If you grew up here, you feel where I'm coming from.
"Oh, God gon' take care of it, Baby! He gon' take care of it." That line there gets me every time! Mahalia Jackson saying this is enough to save a dying world!
Mahalia Jackson is absolutely my GOTO at any time in my life when I am going through adversity. Her music was in my home all the time we were growing up. She was a spiritual giant and a beacon. Although we were a white family in poverty, she was a huge presence in our home. My preacher father loved her music because he said it embodied the purity and the power of the very Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I am so ashamed of myself for not getting into Mahalia Jackson like I used to. I've never seen this video until just now, and, oh my God! everything she's said even exists to this day. she spoke nothing but the truth, so help her, God! I would have loved to have met her! even though she's not alive, she seemed to be smarter than people who are book smart. I feel her spirit just by watching her talk, and sing! I love that woman of God! God bless you in heaven, Ms. Mahalia Jackson!
This woman was a true disciple of Christ. You can tell by her wisdom. God's followers always leave ppl in awe over their wisdom with little to no theological schooling. Once you have the Holy Spirit, God will provide everything you need to serve Him and others.
Hmmm. What a gift to the world. Im glad to have come across this video. I can sure feel the presence of God. I do really admire her, left with so much respect🙏
Mother Mahalia went to be with the Lord in January of 1972 but in this interview in 1971 she has has a look, a glow that seems as though she has already begun her transition from mortal to immortality!
God told me when I was 19 years old if I wanted to sing worship unto him he told me to model myself after Mahalia Jackson I learned how to sing watching Mahalia minister in song, she was my inspiration to worshiping GOD sincerely and in truth with all my heart theses why I sing even now in 2019! She is still my inspiration and watching her thirst for worshiping Christ is transforming to anyone who hears her!
Visibly sick and unable to keep her eyes open due to Sarcoidosis but she pressed on to glorify God. This is what the earth needs today… People willing to serve God inconditionally.
Hearing her talk reminds me so much of simpler times and my grandmother. Even listening to her music sometimes while driving the two lane roads of Alabama gives me a calmness that I cannot explain.
@OLIVIIA CHANEL BLACK What is he lying about? he just said that Mahalia reminds him of his grandmother. He didn't say that she sounds like her. stop trying to blast people, ma'am 🤔 🙄 Comprehension is not your strong suit.
I really don't understand the dislikes. She is not only a great singer but this woman was truly anointed. She is some to look up to. The world needs the kindness she displayed to the world.
After watching this I really realize how far down we have come as a culture. It is really a shame and a sin considering how far people have come with human rights and technology. We need a new spiritual revolution.
+cindy pruitt I love that a new spiritual revolution, but ONLY through the HOLY GHOST! GOD TAKE US DEEPER! AND FOR SOME OF US BRING US BACK TO THE FAITH! AND FOR OTHERS WHO WHERE NOT RAISED UP IN THE FAITH OR TAUGHT OR WITNESSED TO DRAW THEM IN BY YOUR SPIRIT AND REVEAL YOURSELF TO THEM! IN JESUS NAME AMEN!
Miss Jackson was a genius, and a mystic of Christianity. She's so in tune with the Holy Spirit. She cuts through the fakery and gets to the heart and meat of all people. Strong principles. Conviction. Amazing power and intelligence.
If I lived near Mahalia, I would have been visiting her every day; bless my soul! Truth cannot be denied.Truth makes you look at yourself and causes you to search your own heart. O LORD, Thou has searched me, and known me. Thou knows my downsitting and my uprising, Thou understands my thoughts afar off. Amen!
This was the deepest interview I have ever seen in all of my 40yrs of life... I see why my mother use to love her so much and my granny... Black excellence at it's finest at the worst time in life for blacks...
OMG I was repenting and asking God to soften my heart , I don't want to miss another opportunity to be a blessing to those who struggling. God been so good to me and I am motivated to be a blessing to my brother, it wasn't that long ago I almost lose my house which was in forclosure , it wasn't that long ago I didn't hav no car but God who rich in mercy bless me to keep the house and pay off my car, now LORD I going to do what you say to help my brothers and sisters who suffering with hard times. Thank you very much for posting this, this is life changing. It's to late devil I already heard the word.
I Remember the days.......My Heart is A Big Heart and listening to the Sweet Sounds of So Many , I Wish I could go back in time but times are Good Now I just fear the Ones that missed out on this era that taught so much so Many need to learn what I Teach wholeheartedly . 💕
Wish I could have meet this wonderful woman. (I needed to be born a little earlier.) I'd love to have had her fix me some red beans and rice. Love this lady. Thx for this footage!!
Pure Genius! This footage is a marker in time. The Christian call to duty is to help our fellow man. A FAAAR cry from today's Christian practice, where Praising a G-d we can't see, in place of loving our brother we see everyday. My my my! How times have changed!
Truly blessed from and of God,I love you angel thank you for being a great lady so grand and deep with the love of God and Jesus truly in your whole spiritual being,I love you Mrs.Mahia JAckson forgive me if I spell your name wrong🙏😇😁😎🤗
I know a whole lot of older women here in New Orleans that are just like Ms.Jackson still to this day. No education but extraordinary common sense. My aunt told me something 4 year ago that I didn't understand until recent months lol
This interview blessed my soul this morning!! she has always been my all time favorite artist. she knew God and you could tell in her singing. She was in love with the creator. Many days I fall short in my walk and I get jealous of that feeling I know she has to have when shes singing, lol. Its a good jealousy, though! Oh to be in that place with God is how I strive daily. Just a closer walk with thee oh Lord! She hit the nail on the head about loving one another and loving God. It is impossible to say that I love God and I hate my co-worker. My grandmother played her albums all the time and I can see why- the woman was divinely sent by God to give us this beautiful music and minister to our souls. the original MJ- you are missed.
oh lord this woman was powerful, humble, intelligent , talented and very God fearing,this is really a great interview of Mahalia, thsnks alot for sharing.
It's lovely to watch an interview where the interviewer shows a great amount of respect for their guest by listening. Very rare to see that theses days. Interviewers don't realise that by listening to their guest, the audience also listens after all the guest is the subject of the show so that we can learn more about them.
Man would I have loved to go to Mrs. Jackson’s house and eat! Not only for the food she described, but the fellowship in the love of Christ with her. The way she says “Baby” and “Honey” so endearingly reminds me of my Grandmother! Maybe the Lord will let me meet her in Glory.
Me to right at grandma house she cook up a real meal. She was so down to earth she didn't have a college degree but she didn't need because she had the greatness of God . Like she say we do so much talking nowadays and that was 1971 and we still doing it.
My first interview with Mahalia..... Such godly wisdom she shares. Makes me appreciate her even more. We are so grateful to have her many recordings to enjoy! No one like her for sure.
So wonderful to hear from the great Professor Dorsey! I've heard his music, seen his picture but here he IS! Sort of a bashful man! THANK GOD for them ALL!
Momma Mahalia hit the nail on the head! "If the Christian hypocrites turn from their wicked ways, the sinners will see..." You don't hear gospel singers talk like this. They're too busy pointing the fingers at the sinners instead of just living a correct life and lead by example. Even with the non-believers, she said they have a duty and that is to love fellow man. Ha-ya!
Yesss, you aint never lied! Im sick of folks trying to perfect themselves and hate others, assoon as i got saved as young as i was, sooooo many black folks gave me hell!! Dealt with so much hypocrisy and hatred, even from family!
I wish I could've just sat down and talked to Mother Mahalia Jackson! She was full of wisdom and knowledge about life! I've ALWAYS adored this beautiful and wonderful woman!! REST IN PARADISE!! 🌷🌹🌷🌹
I love this because she reminds me of my grandma she would tell you the truth and if it hurt your feelings she would say well if you didn't want the truth u should of kept walking
The good Lord gave back to Ms. Mahalia Jackson what she gave out to others that were in need in the great depression and most of her life she did that!! She was a sincere person, which is what I had heard about her. I knew her friend that did 3 concerts with her, Ms. Willa Dorsey who was a sincere person also.
Great lady soaked in truth and love of God. Sufi Islam teaches somewhat the same as Mahelia has said. Feed the Man then talk about salvation. Sufi teach this: What is the best gift to a Man.? The Gift of BREAD to a Man is the best gift. ( Bread = livelihood.). That is why in the modern terms , Best to create our own job and to create jobs for others.
I've always been very fortunate. When I was growing up, my parents were poor and were working all the time. My mom found a woman to take care of the kids while they were working named Maudie Harris. Maudie was from New Orleans, and growing up, I heard about Mahalia Jackson, who Maudie loved, and Sam Cooke, and I didn't realize, until seeing this, how much Maudie and Mahailia seemed like sisters. There words, their views of the world, their belief in God, was so much alike, that when I see this, I feel as if I'm seeing Maudie. Being as young as I was, I never knew how close they were, I knew that Sam and his brothers, played with her sons, and they were over all the time, but all this makes me so fortunate to see our world, from this side - and to have grown up with it.
She speaks like my grandmother I would have her talking to me all day just to hear her voice. Such a humble settling spirit that touched my head to feet.
Mahalia jackson was very beautiful and her music always made me cry when I listenin to her she definitely had something that alot of gospel singers dont have atall now days.
What an amazing awesome woman of the spirit. Rest in paradise Ms 🙏 Jackson! God is great. Thank you Lord for taking me to this page today 🙏. I love you Lord. Wow..what a powerful message!
She of love and giving to those who are in need. A lesson well learned from her aunt who she was named after.. Such a voice so power that went deep into the soul regardless of denomination. Great southern lady.
Gospel singers of her generation believe that singing gospel music was just as well as preaching it. I read in one of her bio books that Mahalia wanted to be an Evangelist.
Jesus sit down with lepers, thieves and those that SOCIETY cast out. Evil preys on the weak. Loving all creatures makes U. S. come together as a force mightier than the EVIL that would destroy all things. In God We Trust One Nation Under God. That makes GOD our KING✌🏾🗽⚖️
She was incredible, a truly God given talent and better yet a TRUE christian woman. I know Jesus welcomed her in heaven with a big hug. God bless you Mahalia.
A true beautiful soul, shaped and fashioned by God Himself. There will never be another Mahalia Jackson, this thing say not lightly ! Sleep dear child till the Lord return.
I know she’s happy in heaven to be with our God! Hallelujah! What a beautiful woman beautiful soul! If they make a story of her life, they should let Queen latifa play mahalia she reminds me of her, mahalia lived and practiced the Bible, she’s telling the truth!! Praise the Lord! And God bless you all!
She was in the church scene in Imitation of Life and sang. I was just 12 and I was so moved, like I am now! She had such a pure heart. I know the Lord, but after seeing this I feel so ashamed because of what I am not!
She was rar form she could sing. And this was the early 70s and she still was around in the late years. I would love to go to her house and get a home cooked meal.
I do not go to ANY ONE CHURCH. The entire group of those people make me indescribably sick and sad.They are to Phony for me, but when I hear this lady sing, I see heaven and I can hold on too a" grain of mustard seed."
+Doc Harris she said 'any one church,' emphasis on one. Sounds like the commenter is not forsaking the assembly but rather visiting several congregations. St. Paul did that.

I left religion years ago and no longer consider myself a member of any religion or denomination. I'm spiritual, but do not belong to any religion. But this woman takes me back to my roots, back to the foundation of my youth. Quite comforting.
That’s Bc she was speaking of a sense of being that is above religion and other man made concepts
May you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior
It’s not about religion it’s about relationship 🙏
She passed away 51 years ago. I was 6 months old. I'm glad I am able to hear her music, her talent and dedicated life to our Lord. I could ask myself why didn't I find her sooner in my early years of singing? but until now? in my 50's? (51).God really works in mysterious ways. This sister is already an inspiration to me. I just heard two songs and heard her for about 20 minutes talking about how to serve the lord and she has inspired me already.
Respectfully, she was 60 years old...She was born in 1911-1971...
Just listening to her speak for the first time in my life, but I can see that she was New Orleans to the bone! If you grew up here, you feel where I'm coming from.
They tried to change her but she never stood for it
To The Bone!
Yes that southern style❤
"What can we do but help each other? God doesn't need anything from us, but for us to love each other."
And we can't even do that right because we want to create our own definition of love. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 spells it out and we still ignore it.
how'to'save money
N
"Oh, God gon' take care of it, Baby! He gon' take care of it." That line there gets me every time! Mahalia Jackson saying this is enough to save a dying world!
Rowoches I needed this , Thank You Very Much ❗❗💕
You're more than welcome!
Truly a blessing rest in heaven Miss Mahalia Jackson
2 CHRONICLES 7:14

I'm so happy God lead me to this page.

Me Too My Mind is Made up to live in And for CHRIST Love Him And others And Myself
Mahalia Jackson is absolutely my GOTO at any time in my life when I am going through adversity. Her music was in my home all the time we were growing up. She was a spiritual giant and a beacon. Although we were a white family in poverty, she was a huge presence in our home. My preacher father loved her music because he said it embodied the purity and the power of the very Gospel of Jesus Christ.
NOW - This is what we as a people…all people should be exalting, broadcasting and teaching to the next generation. Pure unfiltered truth!👏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
I am so ashamed of myself for not getting into Mahalia Jackson like I used to. I've never seen this video until just now, and, oh my God! everything she's said even exists to this day. she spoke nothing but the truth, so help her, God! I would have loved to have met her!

Amen
HalleluYAH! She was definitely one of YAHUAH's faves.
It was like she was giving a final sermon/message, she covered everything! Here over 45 years later, this message is needed.
Hmmm. What a gift to the world. Im glad to have come across this video. I can sure feel the presence of God. I do really admire her, left with so much respect🙏
Yes, yes, yes!!!!
Mother Mahalia went to be with the Lord in January of 1972 but in this interview in 1971 she has has a look, a glow that seems as though she has already begun her transition from mortal to immortality!
bullycatmom
Yes?
bullycatmom yes she died?
I see what you mean
Right and then she mentions how God know people plotting against you. I think that was her experience she probably felt death near.
God told me when I was 19 years old if I wanted to sing worship unto him he told me to model myself after Mahalia Jackson I learned how to sing watching Mahalia minister in song, she was my inspiration to worshiping GOD sincerely and in truth with all my heart theses why I sing even now in 2019! She is still my inspiration and watching her thirst for worshiping Christ is transforming to anyone who hears her!
Lady-Lynn amen
Visibly sick and unable to keep her eyes open due to Sarcoidosis but she pressed on to glorify God. This is what the earth needs today… People willing to serve God inconditionally.
I have sarcoidosis and it is an evil disease!
May God be with you.
What a beautiful testimony! What a beautiful woman!
PHILLIP MC KIE I j Jr sjesus
Didn’t she pass from complications of diabetes?
She was ordained by God himself, to give hope and spiritual guidance with a voice only a true Angel could have. There will be no other like her.
Hearing her talk reminds me so much of simpler times and my grandmother. Even listening to her music sometimes while driving the two lane roads of Alabama gives me a calmness that I cannot explain.
Agree 100 sir. Reminds me of my grandmother also who, ironically still lives in Alabama (my home state)
Scoot I know your grandma Hattie and she don't sound nothing like her...stop lying 🤣
@Anthony Dixon Same here. I had a grandmother whom Mahalia reminds me of. I was blessed to have know people from that generation.👍
I think my family may have owned them if they live in Alabama. Good times, indeed.
@OLIVIIA CHANEL BLACK What is he lying about? he just said that Mahalia reminds him of his grandmother. He didn't say that she sounds like her. stop trying to blast people, ma'am 🤔 🙄 Comprehension is not your strong suit.
She was beautiful inside and out unselfish. Love you, Mahalia Jackson
I really don't understand the dislikes. She is not only a great singer but this woman was truly anointed. She is some to look up to. The world needs the kindness she displayed to the world.
Because she didn't fit the norm. Sis. Jackson was full figured, Black, and a woman. She also wasn't ashamed to praise the Lord....
After watching this I really realize how far down we have come as a culture. It is really a shame and a sin considering how far people have come with human rights and technology. We need a new spiritual revolution.
+cindy pruitt …true that…a new spiritual revolution...
+cindy pruitt I love that a new spiritual revolution, but ONLY through the HOLY GHOST! GOD TAKE US DEEPER! AND FOR SOME OF US BRING US BACK TO THE FAITH! AND FOR OTHERS WHO WHERE NOT RAISED UP IN THE FAITH OR TAUGHT OR WITNESSED TO DRAW THEM IN BY YOUR SPIRIT AND REVEAL YOURSELF TO THEM! IN JESUS NAME AMEN!
Marquasious Gaines AMEN
we didn't come down it's just she was a mature christian, which is always so incredible.
True!
She said to love each other. To show kindness. Ms Jackson. Is talking to us in 2021
Miss Jackson was a genius, and a mystic of Christianity. She's so in tune with the Holy Spirit. She cuts through the fakery and gets to the heart and meat of all people. Strong principles. Conviction. Amazing power and intelligence.
You hit the nail right on the head. Mahalia was a mystic- she was straight up real- and she changed things for the good through her action.
“The effectual power of the Holy Spirit “ “ in & thru us”.....what a gift she is.... in Jesus name amen 🙏🏽
If I lived near Mahalia, I would have been visiting her every day; bless my soul! Truth cannot be denied.Truth makes you look at yourself and causes you to search your own heart. O LORD, Thou has searched me, and known me. Thou knows my downsitting and my uprising, Thou understands my thoughts afar off. Amen!
Amen
Wow .... she is deep and had no idea this video was around. LOVE this and how she says "wicked" .
Makes me love her that much more ... bless her heart.
This was the deepest interview I have ever seen in all of my 40yrs of life... I see why my mother use to love her so much and my granny... Black excellence at it's finest at the worst time in life for blacks...
Mahalia Jackson was profoundly inspired. Her music left an indelible imprint in the lives of Christians, both for time and eternity.
OMG I was repenting and asking God to soften my heart , I don't want to miss another opportunity to be a blessing to those who struggling. God been so good to me and I am motivated to be a blessing to my brother, it wasn't that long ago I almost lose my house which was in forclosure , it wasn't that long ago I didn't hav no car but God who rich in mercy bless me to keep the house and pay off my car, now LORD I going to do what you say to help my brothers and sisters who suffering with hard times. Thank you very much for posting this, this is life changing. It's to late devil I already heard the word.

Lol
I Remember the days.......My Heart is A Big Heart and listening to the Sweet Sounds of So Many , I Wish I could go back in time but times are Good Now I just fear the Ones that missed out on this era that taught so much so Many need to learn what I Teach wholeheartedly . 💕
AMEN!!!
Yes & Amen 💃🏽🙌🏽🙏🏾🧎🏾♂️
I love Mahalia Jackson, wish I had a chance to meet her. She was a real down to earth black woman that loved the Lord. And would tell it like it is!
Wow...how Fortunate to meet ...Lady...Mahalia
Wish I could have meet this wonderful woman. (I needed to be born a little earlier.) I'd love to have had her fix me some red beans and rice. Love this lady. Thx for this footage!!
She truly said a mouth full.
"Don't shoot me in the head; I'll tell you to your face!"
Savage!
I hollered 😂😂 she telling the truth though amen
Lol....that part
Ha! True words indeed ✊🏽
Th' Senator Lord have mercy Mahalia just went for the tharot and careless
She's telling it like it is lol ! no holes barred.
Pure Genius! This footage is a marker in time. The Christian call to duty is to help our fellow man. A FAAAR cry from today's Christian practice, where Praising a G-d we can't see, in place of loving our brother we see everyday. My my my! How times have changed!
Truly blessed from and of God,I love you angel thank you for being a great lady so grand and deep with the love of God and Jesus truly in your whole spiritual being,I love you Mrs.Mahia JAckson forgive me if I spell your name wrong🙏😇😁😎🤗
Mahalia spoke the Truth. Power in those words.
I know a whole lot of older women here in New Orleans that are just like Ms.Jackson still to this day. No education but extraordinary common sense. My aunt told me something 4 year ago that I didn't understand until recent months lol
Wow!! What a woman! She don't do a whole lotta ''blab blab blabbing...'' but boy when she does it sure makes sense!! Great vid!
Years ago I played piano for a play called "Mahalia:. That was the biggest honor of my life because Mahalia Jackson lived what she sang about!!
Mother Mahalia spoke the absolute truth. May she rest in eternal peace.
This interview blessed my soul this morning!! she has always been my all time favorite artist. she knew God and you could tell in her singing. She was in love with the creator. Many days I fall short in my walk and I get jealous of that feeling I know she has to have when shes singing, lol. Its a good jealousy, though! Oh to be in that place with God is how I strive daily.

oh lord this woman was powerful, humble, intelligent , talented and very God fearing,this is really a great interview of Mahalia, thsnks alot for sharing.
True, Ms Mahalia. God don't need anything else but loving and helping others.
I love everyone but my people are something special and strong I swear
That’s right
Where?
@@skip031890 EVERRYWHEREEEEEE!
You are so right
What now, these generations?
I can truly say that this is a woman of God,and that she love him with her heart.I can feel her spirit.
Everyone ought to hear this in 2022! She cut thru the bull to the heart of the matter!
It's lovely to watch an interview where the interviewer shows a great amount of respect for their guest by listening. Very rare to see that theses days. Interviewers don't realise that by listening to their guest, the audience also listens after all the guest is the subject of the show so that we can learn more about them.
Man would I have loved to go to Mrs. Jackson’s house and eat! Not only for the food she described, but the fellowship in the love of Christ with her. The way she says “Baby” and “Honey” so endearingly reminds me of my Grandmother! Maybe the Lord will let me meet her in Glory.
She did not have a college degree but spoke to a high degree.
PHILLIP MC KIE amen!!!
Amen
PHILLIP MC KIE I needed this today. Beautiful soul.
One Nation Under GOD!
Wisdom from on High, they can’t teach that in no university
I KNEW she could cook before she said it lol. I would have loved to sit at her dinner table. Wonderful interview. She was very well spoken.
Me to right at grandma house she cook up a real meal. She was so down to earth she didn't have a college degree but she didn't need because she had the greatness of God . Like she say we do so much talking nowadays and that was 1971 and we still doing it.
I miss her so much. I miss this. Kind of real love of God. I wasnt even born then. But i feel like i knew her in the spirit. In another life.
Such a beautiful woman. Wish I could have met her. True woman of God.
The Spirit of God is showing himself thru Mahalia. God is real.
she was a sweet person - she had a golden heart
My first interview with Mahalia..... Such godly wisdom she shares. Makes me appreciate her even more. We are so grateful to have her many recordings to enjoy!
No one like her for sure.
Such great words and Footage in the video of this Great woman of God who will never be forgotten!!!!
So wonderful to hear from the great Professor Dorsey! I've heard his music, seen his picture but here he IS! Sort of a bashful man! THANK GOD for them ALL!
Momma Mahalia hit the nail on the head! "If the Christian hypocrites turn from their wicked ways, the sinners will see..." You don't hear gospel singers talk like this. They're too busy pointing the fingers at the sinners instead of just living a correct life and lead by example. Even with the non-believers, she said they have a duty and that is to love fellow man. Ha-ya!
Yesss, you aint never lied! Im sick of folks trying to perfect themselves and hate others, assoon as i got saved as young as i was, sooooo many black folks gave me hell!! Dealt with so much hypocrisy and hatred, even from family!
Man! She nailed it. She couldn't have said it better.
I wish I could've just sat down and talked to Mother Mahalia Jackson! She was full of wisdom and knowledge about life! I've ALWAYS adored this beautiful and wonderful woman!! REST IN PARADISE!! 🌷🌹🌷🌹
Her tranquillity is unmatched. She was strong but calm, she had a purpose and it continues to live. God gave her that wonderful talent.
Reminds me of my Grandma.. and got that glow, and southern talk like my grandma… what a beautiful woman God Bless her soul.
I love this because she reminds me of my grandma she would tell you the truth and if it hurt your feelings she would say well if you didn't want the truth u should of kept walking
She has a beautiful heart...she believed in helping others and uplifting others...an act of kindness that most ppl dont have no more...so sad...
Thanks to God for the inspirational life of Mahalia...we are all blessed to still be able to sing her sing unto the Lord and give Him Glory.
Listen at the wisdom coming out of this Mother!!!!!!!
The good Lord gave back to Ms. Mahalia Jackson what she gave out to others that were in need in the great depression and most of her life she did that!! She was a sincere person, which is what I had heard about her. I knew her friend that did 3 concerts with her, Ms. Willa Dorsey who was a sincere person also.
I havent had tea cakes in ages. My grandma used to cook them all the time. God rest her soul!
Same here my great grandmother use to cook them all the time I really miss those days
Feed a man then teach them about salvation...amen
13:30
MU a beautiful 🙏 soul 🙏
Amen!
Great lady soaked in truth and love of God.
Sufi Islam teaches somewhat the same as Mahelia has said. Feed the Man then talk about salvation.
Sufi teach this:
What is the best gift to a Man.?
The Gift of BREAD to a Man is the best gift. ( Bread = livelihood.).
That is why in the modern terms , Best to create our own job and to create jobs for others.
R.I.P~ I heard her song in Tokyo, Koseinennkin-Hall, at shinjuku.
I was bitten by her song, her voice and her performance. Many many Thanks.
Thank you so much! Ms. Jackson was and is still a class act!
I've always been very fortunate. When I was growing up, my parents were poor and were working all the time. My mom found a woman to take care of the kids while they were working named Maudie Harris. Maudie was from New Orleans, and growing up, I heard about Mahalia Jackson, who Maudie loved, and Sam Cooke, and I didn't realize, until seeing this, how much Maudie and Mahailia seemed like sisters. There words, their views of the world, their belief in God, was so much alike, that when I see this, I feel as if I'm seeing Maudie. Being as young as I was, I never knew how close they were, I knew that Sam and his brothers, played with her sons, and they were over all the time, but all this makes me so fortunate to see our world, from this side - and to have grown up with it.
"my soul feel heaven now", she said it and soon after heaven came to take her. She was one in a life time.
She speaks like my grandmother I would have her talking to me all day just to hear her voice. Such a humble settling spirit that touched my head to feet.
Mahalia Jackson is such a beautiful soul. I whîsh I could have met her. Such a talented lady.
All I can say is MY GOD! THIS is an ANOINTED woman!
My atmosphere shifted as the inview progressed. My God, I thank thee.
Me too
She was getting fired up for God!!
What a loss. I remember when she died in '72, the year before Clara Ward. Yes, Rev. Strawther said she was a great cook!
Wow. Where were you when you found out?
Mahalia--thank your wherever you are. I draw strength and deeper faith from your music and your words. Hallelujah. May God be praised.
She’s got such a spiritual voice! One of those funeral voices. She could sing a rock in the ground and send it on to glory lol. BEAUTIFUL VOICE! 🙌🏾❤️
Mahalia jackson was very beautiful and her music always made me cry when I listenin to her she definitely had something that alot of gospel singers dont have atall now days.
I’m so glad I ran across this video. She was truly a light. A lot of things she said are still true today.
I’m so touched by this. Glory to God.
What a beautiful, gentle, humble spirit. Truly the Almighty worked thru Mahalia Jackson.
This woman SANG for God. Now, she is WITH Him.
For ever my Inspiration, I don't need depression medicine, great gospels like this make me pure, purification of my heart and soul
Thomas Doresy Wow this is historic! Thank God for Mahalia and Doresy for their Contributions to Gospel Music! 2019
I love these old schoolers! No one is around like this anymore (and we NEED people like her today more than anything)
What an amazing awesome woman of the spirit. Rest in paradise Ms 🙏 Jackson! God is great. Thank you Lord for taking me to this page today 🙏. I love you Lord. Wow..what a powerful message!
My Lord, she was truly a precious gift from God. The presence of her words are still powerful.
I wish I knew this lady
MsClara Washington me too
She of love and giving to those who are in need. A lesson well learned from her aunt who she was named after.. Such a voice so power that went deep into the soul regardless of denomination. Great southern lady.
Believe it or not, it seems like Mahalia was a bit of a preacher
she was a preacher in her voice
God had His hand on her life for sure.
She said she actually wanted to preach; however, she did in her music.
Gospel singers of her generation believe that singing gospel music was just as well as preaching it. I read in one of her bio books that Mahalia wanted to be an Evangelist.
Jesus sit down with lepers, thieves and those that SOCIETY cast out. Evil preys on the weak. Loving all creatures makes U. S. come together as a force mightier than the EVIL that would destroy all things. In God We Trust One Nation Under God. That makes GOD our KING✌🏾🗽⚖️
Such deep, deep faith! If only more people were like Mahalia ;how different the world would be.God bless you Mahalia.May you live eternally in glory
She was incredible, a truly God given talent and better yet a TRUE christian woman. I know Jesus welcomed her in heaven with a big hug. God bless you Mahalia.
A true beautiful soul, shaped and fashioned by God Himself.
There will never be another Mahalia Jackson, this thing say not lightly !
Sleep dear child till the Lord return.
Too powerful for me to speak on right now! I had to fight back tears and emotional. Wow!
I know she’s happy in heaven to be with our God! Hallelujah! What a beautiful woman beautiful soul! If they make a story of her life, they should let Queen latifa play mahalia she reminds me of her, mahalia lived and practiced the Bible, she’s telling the truth!! Praise the Lord! And God bless you all!
Meet a man's need then talk to them about salvation. I hear that Ms. Jackson...Glory to God!
I love you Queen Mahalia . A message from 71’ for today’s world .
This lady is genuinely sweet. I'm glad I saw this video.
Thanks for making this available again, my friend!
You're welcomed!
She was in the church scene in Imitation of Life and sang. I was just 12 and I was so moved, like I am now! She had such a pure heart. I know the Lord, but after seeing this I feel so ashamed because of what I am not!
She gives me hope through the Holy Spirit just hearing her preach!!!
She was rar form she could sing. And this was the early 70s and she still was around in the late years. I would love to go to her house and get a home cooked meal.
I do not go to ANY ONE CHURCH. The entire group of those people make me indescribably sick and sad.They are to Phony for me, but when I hear this lady sing, I see heaven and I can hold on too a" grain of mustard seed."
+Doc Harris she said 'any one church,' emphasis on one. Sounds like the commenter is not forsaking the assembly but rather visiting several congregations. St. Paul did that.
+Doc Harris yep, I agree Doc. Ps 84:10
