MAHALIA JACKSON Live during European tour late 1960's

Elijah Rock This is how a true Diva gives a performance. She sings as if it will hurt her if she cant get it out,she is not a performer, she is a singer. Her vocal POWER has never been duplicated. Probably my favorite live performance

She was not just a singer.She was an anointed vessel of God.

Cameron Adair The documentary says this is a church in Sweden. It’s included in the film, ‘Give God the Glory’.

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

@@cameronadair4135 Gospel Music was fairly new to the European public. I recall that it was the 80s when black gospel music came into prominence. Those folk knew how to clap in time because of us pentecostals coming into the country during 50s and 60s. 😂 Seriously Mahalia would have told those brothers and sisters to clap in time.

[@corneliuswellmaker7681]

Mahailia had the Holy Spirit running all through that sanctuary! She was an amazing lady

[@MrQuadarius]

The “Hallelujah” at 0:56 is literally the most majestic powerful vocal moment from any singer Imo my GOD! I wish I could’ve seen her live here.

Religion is what you practice(repetition) show from the outside. Christianity is who you are in Christ Jesus. When you accept Christ Jesus as your Saviour, the Holy Spirit then makes room inside your heart..

[@justinbrasfield6417]

I don't know what she was experiencing when she hit that last note of "Elijah Rock," but I felt ecstasy. That's the gift. When the singer makes you feel it. That's why people loved her. That's why I love her. She made me feel love for God.

[@michele2855]

Amen! And to think her health was not very good at this stage. She gave her all for God.

[@michaelobrien1454]

By the late 60's she had become as famous as a rock star. Whenever I hear her sing I get the spirit and that's saying something for someone who is not a religious person.

Mahalia Jackson was not a singer or performer. She was and is an Artist. An Artist that perfected her craft. She has cemented her place as the greatest gospel artist of all time. She is a treasure and we are fortunate that her spirit and legend lives on. Listening to her always lifts my spirits. It never fails. She never fails.

It's amazing how much the culture of the African-American church has changed in just the last 60-70 years. Today, you cannot have enough dancing and music, whereas before you were sinning for waving your hand!

[@alexanderst.stolle7175]

The best and in Mahalia`s interpretation unique spiritual to me, makes gooseskin when I hear it, also with the great Mildred Falls on piano in concert, you can hear her handclappin and when she beats with her hand the gran piano (nice vid documents from 61 from Hamburg, Stockholm and Amsterdam). You can see the prophet Elijah acting in the old time , leading Israel.

[@4676eckjr]

Mahalia Jackson touched the hearts, souls, and minds of millions of people, and even on today, her marvelous voice echos the joyful praises of godliness. She was truly an example of what a Gospel Singer is, and is not. You cannot find another today that stands so vividly before the people as an emblem of holiness as it relates to stardom and true dedication of her profession . . . as that is, giving total praise to the Lord, and not a mere entertainer. She "was not" a show, as is seem today.

[@littlewhitepetals8790]

This is right. She must have given God everything. Lord help us all to do the same today.
