Wow...what an awesome performance! I love the comment that "windsofmarch" made: When God sought out a way to breathe his holy spirit into mankind in a way that would electrify and strengthen the faith of the weakest, he found Mahalia and blessed her with the talent to make the Word ride on her voice. There is power just in hearing her sing...
I have loved this song forever, but I've never heard any performance come close to this. And I had thought I heard some great performances. This simply is in a class by itself, as is Mahalia Jackson. My goosebumps have goosebumps! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
How incredible! Thank you, God, for blessing us with her voice - and that she used it to praise you.
Can anyone tell me anything about her? I would really like to learn more about this remarkable woman. Thanks in advance.
I fear death no more, when I hear this powerful and beautiful woman sing. She has God by her side, she is blessed..........I too am blessed and inspired by this vision and voice.
