Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho-Mahalia Jackson

Here is another gem from my VHS archives. Our gospel Queen Mahalia Jackson as she appeared in 1957 singing on the Nat King Cole show. Listen to that voice so pure and powerful.

[@bobb7993]

If Nat Cole called her the "World's Greatest Gospel Singer" then it's settled. She's the best!

[@aclark903]

Then again I think Jesus is pretty happy whenever anyone sings a gospel song and means it.

[@rloomis3]

I'm glad she lived in a time when recording technology existed, so that we don't have to content ourselves with hearing tales of her performances, and being left to imagine what she sounded like. How fortunate we are to have the evidence readily available to us. That woman had one heck of a voice, and knew how to use it.

[@wmauibill]

rloomis3 you are spot on ...thank God for recorded sound

Elvis said she was his favorite singer .Amen to that.

[@fabianferrada2501]

She was Donna Summer's favorite singer as well.

[@dustfreequeen5151]

Johnny Cash said she was his favorite gospel singer too.

[@bailinnumberguy]

She wasn't the best gospel singer in the world at that time. She was the best singer, period. Her voice had limitless power and range and she used it to full effect.

[@jenmajol]

My Great Grandma used to play her musics almost everyday and she didn't like English speaking songs or musics because it wasn't her native tongue and she didn't know English... Out of curiousity, one day I asked her why she like Mahalia so musch she said, "She sing with such passion, I don't understand English but the passion in her voice interprets!" May the Sweet Lord bless you Miss Mahalia,... I miss you so much Grandma, Aloha vau ia oe Makua'hine O Hawai'i nei...

[@kcope001]

New Orleans' own Mahalia Jackson. One of the greatest singers ever in any genre. Rest in peace, Ms. Mahalia, you earned it.

[@dashursaqqara436]

In addition to Mahalia, those two accompanist had that organ & piano singing, too!

[@DavidGregTaylor]

Mahalia never sang R&R in her life. She was a consistent gospel singer all her life. She did sing a bit with Duke Ellington, but nothing inconsistent with her vocation as a gospel singer. The song that best desribe her saintly life is I'M GONNA LIVE THE LIFE I SING ABOUT IN MY SONGS. You are still singing for the Lord, sister. You will never be forgotten.

[@jennyjones4385]

Now this is amazing. I've been listening to her since birth, I'm now 37. She had so heart and soul with that voice, I'm from New Orleans and I went to her grave. To me that was an honor. I bet you're up in heaven singing away...

[@tadd8210]

Yes..sang it Sis. What a mighty God we serve.

[@georgevalco215]

"The praise went up...and the walls came down"!

[@Xtrasweetie]

Nat King Cole was televised without any sponsors - no commercials b/c no one would sponsor his show. Yet he was so good, and so beloved he had a weekly show anyway. Go figure that out. Why no one would sponsor his tv show.

[@SuperGuanine]

It was and is all about 💲💲💲.

[@aprobstayahoo]

Fear of boycott. Would've been funny if a really huge, huge corporation had sponsored him just for the heck of it, but as Lucky 1038 says, it's all about the dough.

[@noahawk07]

I don't care about the biblical debates. Mahalia Jackson is the greatest singer ever and a national treasure. Just listen to this and that is self-evident.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Elvis Presley was so moved by her voice that he sang it himself. If Nat and Elvis were that moved by Mahalia Jackson, then that says a lot. The Queen? No question.

one thing i notice about the older singers, they could hit and note, hold it, stretch it out..one reason I think todays singers are less skilled. Today they feel like they have to go up and down a scale...what a pleasure to hear her hit that last note.
