Della Reese hated Mahalia Jackson

[@v.b6028]

We need more stories like this. Della Reese loved Mahalia & admired her. I loved this story. It’s about respect, watching & learning. Very funny & moving

[@TheRaven757]

I could sit around and listen to the elders talk ALL day. Rest in power, ma'am. 🙏🏾❤

[@chevydude658]

Obviously she has great respect for Mahalia Jackson. I think the total was intended to be humorous. Miss. Jackson was THE greatest Gospel singer the world has ever known.

[@teenamaree5660]

Amen and amen....

[@mylesburris3885]

Today is January 22nd 2019... and yes Mahalia was and is the GREATEST GOSPEL SINGER EVER!!!!

[@q.c.chieftain3085]

Myles Burris 💯 Facts!

[@fatherhurley]

The title is a quote to get people to watch the video. But Della Reese didn't actually hate Mahalia Jackson, if you listen to the whole video.

[@toyamosley1955]

fatherhurley Right I hate when they do that shit . Smfh

[@1morehouse4me]

Exactly, to say Della hated anyone needs a good shake and chastising.

[@shuggirl]

fatherhurley i agree with you.

[@MsDee409]

fatherhurley ......I'm glad that was realized. It would have been a shame if these Beautiful Wonderfully Talented Women of God did not get along.

[@brucep9393]

She clearly said, I hated Mahalia Jackson. It's not exactly click bait, because at a time in her life she did hate her. LOL but she was young

[@19isthenumber]

Mrs. Della Reese, I love you. I know that title got a lot of people watching this. Clever move. But it's not misleading. A child wanting to run wild and break rules would hate an authoritarian. But with maturity comes wisdom and that hate turned into great appreciation and the pinnacle of all emotions, love!

[@bonitahobbs2097]

Della was beautiful, an author, actress, singer, mother, wife, minister. A trailblazer, she had a talk show- variety show in the 60's. Amazing! I have so much from reading her autobiography. Everyone should find it and read it! You will then see how STRONG she was!!! Phenomenal woman! Rest in power Our Beloved!!!

[@ckcarder8023]

I am so glad I watched this. WOW! Train up a child in the way they should go! We need more mentors like this today.

[@DeVron83]

She clearly was making humor of the late, great Mahalia Jackson as a mentor. Too funny.

[@ryandawson2877]

Oh yes. Absolutely. Mahalia would’ve laughed.

[@DeVron83]

Ryan Dawson indeed

[@cupcake0071]

What an awesome memory of Ms. Della Reese about the wonderful woman Ms. Mahalia was....we can always learn something for our own good.

[@drikdrikwilliams2986]

The title is misleading.

[@BlindMellowJelly]

+Drikdrik Williams Yeah, people do that to get hits......makes one want to watch it so it works but I don't like it when folks do it either.

[@marshsoden7341]

This is how the Devil work.

[@desireprometheus1535]

How is the title misleading? It’s a DIRECT quote from THIS clip. Y’all are the devil and need to stop. It ain’t that serious.

[@okthen1464]

I like the way they did that tho.😂 I went 😲. But I watched and that was one of the most beautiful stories I ever heard!

[@carolrhodes4727]

She had respect for Mahalia Jackson, just all in fun and love.

[@02waltercoverin71]

Hi Carol hope you’re okay?

[@honeypie327]

God has called you home Della, keep your amazing voice for all those in Heaven to enjoy!

[@02waltercoverin71]

Hi Rita hope you’re okay?

[@darkfeather6857]

What a beautiful and well-told story! This is the first time I wasn't upset by a clickbait title.

[@martdavid84]

What a MASTER storyteller! I could listen to this woman all day! This is awesome.

[@jimlee216]

Della had nothing but adoration for this woman - whoever this poster is should REALLY LISTEN to this if they are going to post something like this as a tribute!

[@billiemason3841]

Jim Lee ,yes!!!!!

[@desireprometheus1535]

Maybe the poster doesn’t know or utilize punctuation or proper syntax as properly as most should or you do, however, they don’t deserve nor need your judgement nor direction. They used a direct quote from this clip. Check yourself, colonizer. Your people are always trying to control everyone when it’s neither your place nor necessary.

[@SeanPLeary]

What an amazing woman Della Reese! We were blessed as a world with her in it

[@buchananjosalyn]

What a Beautiful Story of the way to treat the young inexperienced.

[@DreDizzler1]

I love this interview. Powerful spiritual lesson. God is good.

[@victorjones4565]

It’s SAD for someone to come up with a Title like this .God Bless both of these Sisters.🙏🏾

[@justone4619]

Della was hilarious! Man: She was a guardian angel. Della: No she wasn't. 😂🤣

[@msdoyoureallyknow]

I've NEVER known Ms. Della Reese to HATE anyone. This woman came to my mother and asked her came she take me on the road with her. The same thing that Mahalia Jackson did with Ms. Della Reese. So please if your going to tell the story tell the truth. Not that I needed to mention this but I am Solomon Burke First Daughter, First Child born to him and his widow wife Doris Burke. I've kept slient for a very long time and this woman is beautiful so stop the lies.....

[@WalterCRobinsonJr]

Thank you Ms. Gresham for your comment. They took Ms. Reese's comment's out of context to get views. But it didn't work!

[@WalterCRobinsonJr]

Your father was one of my favorite soul singers! :-)

[@msdoyoureallyknow]

Thank you. He would have loved your comment and people just want something to talk about. Take care.

[@tonyareed5083]

I agree with you, Ms. Gresham. I do not like the Video Title, either. I almost DID NOT click on the Video because of the Title, because there is enough DRAMA in the world. However, I am glad that I DID click. Therefore, to the person who uploaded this Video (savoygreen), please note: "You could actually be LOOSING viewers because of this "negative" Title." I was curious to see what lies were being spread, so I allowed my curiosity (or, perhaps it was the leading of God, since HE knew the ACTUAL content of the story) to click on the Video IN SPITE of the negative title. To God Be the Glory.

[@lovingmayberry307]

Ms. Val The Tax Lady Much respect to Solomon Burke and his music!

[@blakeposter7496]

she was just joking - she didnt hate Ms Jackson

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

Mahalia stopped her from being hot in the tail

[@chancediamond443]

She did not hate her she's making jokes about having a mentor. She is a comedienne, any young girl has the same feelings of not wanting mentor/chaperon/supervisor watching every move...

[@MarvaJefferson-q4o]

Della admired and loved Mahalia 😊

[@denisehenderson1876]

Rest In peace Pastor, I was glad to meet you at your church. You were a strong woman and down to earth. God bless you

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Mahalia Jackson was an originator of gospel. NOBODY can imitate her and she went through a lot in her career. Rest in Heaven to the both of them.

[@MarieHolliday]

Title is so off

[@JaySmith-un2mg]

Two beautiful souls. Ms.Reese had a great respect for Ms.Jackson who protected her. They had a wonderful sister/ friend relationship

[@Liveworthyproductions]

The title definitely and no doubt purposefully takes Della Reese's comment completely out of context...

[@bertronostanne689]

Please don't ever delete this video

[@terraknohs8199]

Amen. Beautiful way to express Ms. Jacksons' Faith. Definitely not the correct title such a loving memory.

[@zzzzgirl9600]

The title is a clever ploy to get us to watch and we did. In this instance the word "hated" was used in playful terms, so it is misleading in that sense, but the story is one of positivity and inspiration.

[@valeriejohnson4204]

We need more Mahalia Jackson's today God bring us Mahalia Jackson's here for these young girls today, In Jesus' Name, Amen🙏🤣

[@sharynallen2188]

Lovely story no one could ever hate Mahalia Jackson #blessedservantofGod

[@mobonce]

It's a PLAY ON WORDS... The poster should have put the word "hated" in quotes!

[@ancientname]

Thanks Mobonce. If "hate" was in quotes, it would have still effected interest and intrigue and been true to its actual meaning. This is actually a testament to the late and great Mahalia Jackson as a person of character and not just as a singer.

[@BubbaLarkin]

That is a beautiful & loving memory.

[@jeremystewart333]

Rip Miss Reese I will deeply miss you on your t.v. shows and movies my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 go out to her family on this trying time your friend Jeremy Stewart

[@alspeace]

I don't care if she is right, wrong or left... she IS classic in Harlem NIghts as Vera Walker. "I'm a honest ho"... :-) C'mon now? THAT is some good stuff there.

[@gs-xx8uv]

I could not imagine anybody hating Mahalia Jackson. I did not realize Della Reese was so funny. Thanks for posting.

[@TJ1920]

Title of course is misleading what else is new

[@j1thom]

Oh my, what a wonderful story! growing up in Iowa during the mid-fifties, all we had were 2 or 3 TV stations. They would often run short films of singers at sign off (usually at 9PM). Burl Ives, Jimmy Dean, etc. But to my recollection, they ran Mahalia the most. And that was where I got my love for music. Incredible influence! Just as important as seeing Chuck Berry on AB.

[@awillis244]

Lol. I understand Della

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

Mahalia wouldn't letting her be fast and hot....all teenaged girls "hate" those who stop their fun....#donefromaplaceoflove

[@spreadingthegoodnews3836]

This is beautiful, I love Deella Reese and Mahiala🥰💖🙏🏽

[@Reneep34]

Misleading title, indeed!!

[@jenniewpt1745]

[@galafoundation1550]

Savooy Green's Channel should really consider changing the Title on this Awesome Video of Della Reese's recollection of her Mentor, the Great Mahalia Jackson. It was placed to sensationalized but it does not serve Ms Reese to be misinterpreted! Della Loved Mahalia Jackson and she learned alot from the Gospel Singer.

[@josephinejohn6842]

@savoygreen I cant hear anything past the first couple of seconds! Can you please fix? Thanks and blessings to you.

[@tealdust1]

It's funny of those who complain about the title and yet, you came here to hear what she "hated" about Mahalia...tricky title, a bit of gossip and we still came and hit play, so get over it - I'm glad I saw this video. oh and it's 2018.

[@okthen1464]

That was absolutely beautiful!

[@jaroneames4304]

Priceless!

[@roycey32]

The title was NOT misleading in my opinion. It served the purpos dce for which the uploader intended; getting all you messy people looking for something " juicy" to watch; because the SAD reality is that people are attracted to "mess" and juicy gossip. Once your undivided attention had been obtained, you were given beauty and light in the place of ugliness and darkness. i LOVE it.

[@MrMckinney18]

Royce Mosley looking for something juicy doesn't makes you messy! Title was to draw views being thristy to be seen!

[@alanhudson2999]

I agree..that's jus inconsiderate to the viewing audience and not only the stupid video has no sound..how crass is that..the the title alone is mean how could anyone not like Mother Mahalia..a woman that had a beautiful spirit that loved people and loved God more

[@onacorona2323]

So true she did love Ms.Jackson, and taught her a lot. But she told the story to show love for Ms.Jackson and make us laugh a long way.

[@cherel.leviner517]

I as well love to listen to both songtress's sing, and I also agree that the producer that titled the lie is a liar! Della was speaking of good times with Mahilia when she traveled with her as a young woman...don't mislead! Keep it straight if you want a following.

[@TONEBHURT]

I thank you, I felt this was not right! I am going to avoid viewing this after reading title and comments. Also Reverend Reese and The Meditation Singers were something else as was Miss Jackson. There's a reason why this video is still buffering, I am not supposed to watch it.

Dont mis understand people by the title. Mrs Della reese did not hate Mother Mahalia Jackson. She just wanted to be young and free at that time when she was young.

[@shortydlynn6155]

looking for a gospel song, this will be the last day we're together. does anyone know it? I thought it was Dorothy norwood but can't fine it

[@DiBailey]

This title is definitely misleading!!! Ms. Reese was telling about when she traveled with Ms. Jackson as a young woman, and she wanted to go out with the young men, but "Mahalia stood in the way" of that. Getting on into the story, it is very obvious that she respected Ms. Jackson very much.
