Mahalia Jackson Just a Closer Walk With Thee

[@q.c.chieftain3085]

Mahalia sang her eulogy on the Flip Wilson Show, September 1971. You can tell how she kept looking up at the Almighty while she was singing. The spirit was upon her. She went on home to glory four months after this performance. Mahalia Jackson was the Queen of all gospel singers, period!!

[@neppah5]

My God, how he touches me!!!

[@adonaiyah2196]

The detail in this paragraph is intense

[@adonaiyah2196]

And yes it was one of her last performances

[@tikkunsoulam]

The Queen of Gospel Singers past present and future

[@adonaiyah2196]

Absolutely is my queen and blueprint

[@ABCDuwachui]

She kept her sound fresh while sticking to her convictions.

[@JudahCub1981]

If she continued singing that song there would have been revival on the Flip Wilson Show for real...!!!

[@adonaiyah2196]

There would be a reignited flame definitely. If she lived into the 70s

[@jeremiahjangad5388]

Singers of today should learn from her.

[@RevJoe88]

I can't watch this video without wanting to both cry and shout. Mahalia was indeed the most powerful Gospel singer of ALL time. My humble opinion. #Greatness! #FavoriteSinger

[@neppah5]

[@janvanbrug]

[@MrKITCHENTALK]

Yes Yes sing Girl Sang ...............

[@cupcake0071]

I must say, when God created his child "The Mother of Gospel", he honestly created someone whom was a gift from him. I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to learn of "The Mother of Gospel." Again, truly she was a gift from God. I'm not being judgmental, but truly I haven't seen or heard one person to shine as this precious woman and/or child of God.

[@adonaiyah2196]

She was the best gospel singer of the 20th century

[@cupcake0071]

I tell you, this was a awesome woman who God created and shared with us people. Lord, she was one of a kind. In my time, I have not yet to see or her anyone who can even touch what God had created this powerful woman to have been. Needless to say, I am so glad to have the oportunity to learn what "Great Work" she left behind.

[@dunexapa1016]

I have known of Mahalia Jackson for almost 40 years and I agree.

[@brandonwashington341]

She was about to shout

[@stevenwilliambaylessparks3730]

No pop, rock, spiritual, opera or jazz singer is in her range. Mahalia Jackson's purity and power turned her into a fountainhead of religious fervor.

[@lindawhite1943]

Amen! Amen! Amen!!!!!

[@kallywhatley8805]

I dont think she had a child, I saw her documentary last night and she had a hystorectomy in her younger years. She sure is dwelling in Heaven with Jesus.

[@soulfullsongbird88]

@soulfullsongbird88 i meant to say that mahalia kept her baby out of the lime light, plus she is well respected nor would any one dare do that to her, this is her daughter sigma galloway from husband minters sigmund galloway its her step daughter which she loved as her own since she was unable to have kids due to health issues. i love this lady.

[@margiecrabtree6590]
