Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Just a long way, from my home oh Lord
Just A long way, from home

It is currently 6:40 AM in Buffalo New York. I've had the pleasure of playing Mahalia Jackson in Mahalia The Musical, She has inspired me my entire life. I discovered her in my life at the rightful age of six, in the movie Imitation of Life singing Precious Lord.The older I get the more inspirational she becomes to me. I am still singing Mahalia's music. At 68 years I just performed on Saturday, Didn't it Rain and A City called Heaven. Thank you Hailey for all the joy you've brought to my life 💖💖🤎

thank you for sharing this beautiful comment

This has a bittersweet feel to me...as I was an aspiring opera singer, when I attended Howard University back in the late 90's, this was my mother's favorite song that she always asked me to sing for her. I love it...from the opera PORGY AND BESS., by George and Ira Gershwin. After JESUS, my mother was my best friend. She stood by my side when many, many, many people turned their backs on me and she fiercely tried to protect me all my life. Finally, in 2022 at the age of 81, the Lord called my mother home. She held on so long, just trying to make sure that I was good. I know that none of us are here to stay, but I really do know the pain of being "a motherless child." I miss my mother so so much. Sometimes, the pain hits me sharp and deep still. Rest easy, Mommy. I will see you soon enough when Jesus comes back! Love always, Ginger.

[@dorothydodson4245]

Mahalia's singing touches my soul still today at 80!

[@janetannerevans2320]

If Mahalia Jackson had crossed over into popular music she would be a household name. Her voice, her range she had it all, but she stayed true to her devotion to God and simply wouldn't do it. I have loved her for many years.

[@dashursaqqara436]

not despite; but she WAS / Still is a household name - everybody knew of her

[@alisontyrrell4145]

I'm From Liverpool England, I've known about Mahalia Jackson all my life ❤️, she crossed over, everyone I know knows of her ❤️❤️❤️

[@SmellyDramaQueen]

She CHOSE not to do mainstream music, everyone wanted her to sing blue but she said no

[@annetterohla8932]

These two songs are from the George Gershwin Broadway musical Porgyand Bess.Broadway is as secular as you can get.George Gershwin was a Jew,and used the songs in this musical to lead people away from Jesus.Gershwin's song from Porgy and Bess, "Aint Necessarily So" claims"ain't necessarily so,the words that you're liable to read in the Bible,ain't necessarily so".This line is sung repeatedly,including it's performance by beloved Louis Armstrong with Ella Fitzgerald.This kind of evil leading us away from God has got the Cross removed from American schools,just like the Jew Hitler did in Germany.Now look at the mess we're in with illiteracy,drugs,crime,and girls having babies with multiple deadbeat dads.Your comment seems way off base,as Mahalia Jackson was completely renowned.If she wasn't,she wouldn't have been on TV with so many films of her and global performances.

[@annetterohla8932]

Put the Cross back in the schools.Funny how people want to ban our protection from guns,when they should be banning TV,movies,and video games that promote torture,violence,terror,blood and gore,vampirism,satanism, fornication and sodomy,and the demonic,instead of the Holy and Pure Creator,God who is love,and our Savior Jesus,who said to turn away from sin.

[@rebeccamcardle8071]

Ms. Mahalia is my go to when the world seems to have gone off its axis. I’m an old white Canadian gal in the year 2023. Go figure.

[@kelleefiola1336]

Makes total sense to ...I am an old Massachusetts lady...she's the best comfort...like a guaranteed mom embraced lullaby

[@BobbyBitcoin]

Euphorias soundtrack has put me onto so much great music ; taking me on emotional roller coasters all the while sweet melodies like this one play subtley in the background.

[@donjuan8927]

right

[@fun2cya198]

i used to love euphoria till season one...once it got tik tok famous it really got ruined. I remember when i would watch the first ever episodes and think how magical that show was, but it's very unfortunate cause i heard most of the cast left (and i still do think that it was mostly influenced by tik tok where everyone would find something to cancel someone's entire job career, which is really sad that most people have that kind of mindset)

Mahalia Jackson is a Gospel Great and Black History In music! Whoever put her music on Euphoria is a genius and has awesome taste!!!

[@rubyfretwell7080]

My grandmother frequently played Mahalias' music on her portable Zenith record player. I would sing along with her and my grandmother. I thought I was one little soulful white girl at the age of 5. Her voice is timeless; I understand why Elvis used to listen to her music for hours. She's now singing to her Heavenly Father.

[@mavisbiekman3454]

This song I know from my childhood, and I played everytime I have to overcome pain!

[@user-np9sc2nd7d]

I've always loved this precious and powerful lady's music. Still music to the ears and Joy to the heart and full of Soul. God blessed her talents, singing for the Lord and I'm sure she's still singing up in heaven with Angels. May her soul eternal rest in peace. 🙏 ❤🎉😅😊

[@stelladomingo45]

Summertime, And the living is easy, Fish're juping, And the cotton is high, Your daddy's rich And your mummy is good lookin' So hush little baby Don't you cry, One of these mornings You're going to rise up singing, You're gonna spread your wings, Take to the sky, But till that morning, Nothing will harm you, With daddy and mummy, They be standing by, Sometime I feel, Like a motherless child, Sometime I feel, Like a motherless child, Sometime I feel, Like a motherless child, Just alone, Long way, From my home, Alone, Just alone, From my home, Humhumhumhumhum Just along way from home

[@thinkingintrovert2350]

[@tinamariarandez]

Her sincerity in her songs made recovery from personal problems easier to bear.. God gave her a voice to inspire others to love each other as He loved us!

[@joestephan1111]

She was a household name and one of the greatest ever who had her own radio show. She performed with greats on TV which was more powerful then.

I am 71 and have a personal, hand-written letter from Mahalia written in 1969. I was 17 at the time. I donated the original to Standfor U. libraries a couple years ago. What a treasure. I kept photocopies of it.
