Mahalia Jackson: Great Souls Great Prayers

Jackson is a singer who can sing with verve and power and fill a concert hall with such emotion that hearers are moved to tears. Rarer still is the singer who can effect the same response in the midst of a humble storefront church, in the soaring environs of massive cathedrals, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and at a Presidential Inaugural Ball.
This is one of several profiles of Great Souls Great Prayers as presented by Rev. Robert Lee Hill, minister emeritus Community Christian Church.
The series was organized by First Christian Church of Independence MO.

My late parents, especially Mother, played the old 78RPM records of Sis Mahalia when we were small children in our home, along with other singers of spirituals and hymns! In fact, my Mother a devout Christian, wouldn't allow any other music to play in our home! She was for real, and her wonderful singing demonstrates her love of Jesus Christ! My late husband and I got saved and like my Mother before me, would only play spirituals in our home as we raised up our 2 children who are saved!
