[@stephanierickenbacker2446]

Still sounds good in 2019! God fearing Women of God! Queen of Gospel! Beautiful!

[@deloreswillis9224]

Amen….. ❤

❤I grew up in San Francisco in the 1950s\1960s. KGO -TV Channel 7 used to broadcast Mahalia Jackson’s 15 minute program just after dawn. One of my favorite memories is getting ready for school while my mother was getting ready for work and listening to the program. Mom was from Japan and loved Mahalia Jackson‘s voice. One word she always used to describe. It was “Power!”❤

[@syourke3]

Can anyone even imagine something like this on commercial TV today? She was magnificent - and give credit to Cash for inviting her on and giving her the whole stage to herself. These were two genuine people, not the phonies that litter the little screen today.

[@dalekelley3003]

Steven Yourke many are called, few are chosen. Mahalia was chosen , so was Cash.

[@deloreswillis9224]

I totally concur

[@marioparty12345]

Every time I see a performance from her that was in 1971 it does something to me because I know she passed in January of 72’ . This woman was truly blessed and highly favored . Thank you Jesus for Queen Mahalia 💙

[@Netbe277]

marioparty12345 YesLord Thank You For Her🙏🏾

[@greghamerter2259]

God is good and he keep blessing me

[@khalilcanady2012]

When Mahalia begins to mourn.... That just brings tears to my eyes!!!!you got to be a stone to be unmoved.

[@dddddadadad1796]

Do you mean moan?

[@khalilcanady2012]

Yes... Spelling!!!

[@gospelsoulman]

This Mahalia Jackon Style of traditional gospel is the exact same style that the old skool church mothers would sing this song back in the day, even up through the 1980's. When they would have those old fashioned prayer meetings, everybody would be down on bending knee and one of the church mothers would start off singing like this. You knew it was going to be one of those long, very long prayer meetings. I'd fall asleep somewhere in the middle of that prayer service. Lol but boy do I miss those times now! Authentic and anointed singing like this soothes the soul. 😇

[@deloreswillis9224]

Yesssssssssss lord

[@sunofgod480]

This is heartwrenching...so beautiful

[@Ridger1978]

What an awesome voice! If Heaven and Earth are linked by music, she was one of the strongest links in the chain. Great post from a superb voice, not only in Gospel, but all music! 5*****

[@MrBluedanube]

I cant stop weeping over her songs. Such a heavy presence of the Spirit of God.

[@marilynpedersen6022]

Holly Spirit takes over and what a beautiful voice of the Lord Amen

[@DavidWayneJones]

Love this woman.

[@JudahCub1981]

If I was the grandchild of slaves...born and raised in poverty...then grew up, blessed to be an internationally known celebrity with a million dollar estate...I would take my time and thank God for His amazing grace too... Not to mention at the time of this taping Mahalia was mourning the loss of a first cousin that she grew up with. So you get the sense that Ms. Jackson was really talking to God, one on one, in song right here.

[@phatboysbakery]

Oh I see🙏🙏

[@anthonymenzel9109]

I don't just like this. I LOVE this. What a blessing to see Mahalia perform live. Thanks for the wonderful post.

[@johnnyjemimah57]

She is simply awesome!!!

[@jimmyleejams]

There will never be another Mahalia ... so much spirit ... so much power ... and so much class. I'll know that I'm almost home for sure when I hear Mahalia leading the choir a little ways ahead ... just beyond the river.

[@darrellbowman3309]

When she sang the angels stood in awe.

[@deloreswillis9224]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

[@Senkino5o]

Well God bless her, keep her, you can see her faith was true and genuine, not just a stage act. And more importantly you can hear it, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

[@Derrickontheway]

Yes Lord!!!

[@paulettadevaughnopersanger7922]

All the best wishes from Europe, Mahalia was the best I felt her message all the way over here in Austria. Strong is the word of God and genuine expressions coming from her soul, Thank you

[@honeybunch3927]

Always loved the JC Show, don't remember this one though! Mahalia really did sing as though, like tommyboo21 said, her only audience was God. It's true she sang wholly from the heart and puts most of today's gospel singers to shame. Man, can you imagine all those late-great singers in Heavenly concert?

[@marysagar]

How astonishing how she so totally makes this song her own so that, as powerful and masterful as her voice is, it isn't about that, it becomes about the prayer, the purpose, the truth of what she is singing.

[@sefrims1]

So, so very awesome..brings tears to my eyes ..beautiful, absolutely beautiful..

[@christophermoore4262]

Love Her GOING to meet her ONE DAY IN GLORY

Mahalia sang her eulogy. She went on to glory 10 months later after this performance

[@deloreswillis9224]

Lord JESUS

[@stewartfenton7660]

I'm not surprised to see her on John's show, I know he was also a BIG fan of Sister Rosetta.

[@beatricewoods8377]

So calm composed before she started singing the song A National Treasure ❤

[@ryandawson2877]

Awesome! Love Mahalia.

[@q.c.chieftain3085]

erink scotenn , so true God did indeed call her home in 1972. But during her time here on earth He called on her to spread the gospel in song! She sang for God while she was here on earth

[@wolfcats2]

I really love seeing someone like her who really loves the lord Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross for our sins being raised from the dead. She really has faith in him, nothing fake.

[@seand67]

Amazing

[@guttersnype00]

HALLELUJAH!!!

[@cornellsmith1430]

Let me say the this right...Mahalia Jackson pass away on January 1972 ..her last performed was on the flip Wilson show... 5 months after..

[@mikie8865]

that is the most soul i have ever heard pour out of someone...man!

[@dellotti]

Back in the days when they could show great artists, not just some latest hit maker that gave out a CD, and has no personality what so ever. They just came there and did what they were good at.

[@Mom1910]

God's Grace led her home,but while she was on earth,she gave us a glimpse of what our true home will feel like.

@@stewartfenton7660 the Mantle of the Lord is a powerful one indeed! It was upon her. The Spirit of God moved accordingly in her life. If Jim Brown could bring two of the most notorious and dangerous gangs in the World, The Cripps and The Bloods, together at his house and they Pow-wow like old home week and nobody dies or gets hurt you gotta know God is in it!
