[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

The way she walks away and still blasting those notes sends chills everytime

[@motownfan3]

Jay I'm falling apart..... As a kid I was in those Civil Rights Lines back in the '60's singing " We Shall Overcome"...... Mahalia's voice kept the movement going......may she Rest In Peace

[@Benaleme1]

We shall overcome! That we are still standing against all odds, right now, we are overcoming! Thanks Mahalia Jackson for the inspiration!

[@TheKlauscat]

I could listen to this on an endless loop.

[@TheSmartShowChannel]

I loved how she walked off that stage.

[@erniesings6855]

I love how she just walks off as if she's giving Jesus the final bow.

[@robertscott5895]

i got chills when she says "Yeah Lord, If in--our hearts!

[@andrepyfrom2655]

The best that's ever lived

[@robertscott5895]

i love how she started off in a Falsetta voice, then opened it up full voice when she said "if in my heart"! "sang" Mahalia!!!!!!

The Great Mahalia Jackson this one sends chills down my spine. God help us overcome sin and wickedness. Walking away from the mic wow this woman was Superwoman of gospel music.

[@dashursaqqara436]

Mahalia didn't have to do a mic drop to have a mic drop: she just walked away and it was done!

[@DippyHippie]

If there is a heaven….IF IF IF I hope Mehalia will be singing this IF IF IF I get there! I

[@tikkunsoulam]

That walk off from the Mike gave me goose pimples

[@DippyHippie]

Not today,my baby was murdered,19 babies were murdered with a weapon no one should own!

[@creoleperez6971]

So deeply sorry for your baby and the other children and teachers who were murdered by that scum of Satan ..my family and I will always whole your families in our hearts ..May God continue to hold you and yours in the hollow of his hands..

[@aliceinchainz3003]

u guys have no idea how much pain this wonderful lady was in. singing this.....she had to get off the way she did.

[@marieOH5]

I read a biography about her and she did not live much longer after this performance. She was sick for real and kept going as long as she could. RIP.

[@mauriceboykin4422]

Amen what a lady and a better human being

[@JohnSmith-vb9ul]

The high pitched opera style opening to this song is not how she usually performed it and showed a part of her vocal range that many probably didn't know she had. I'm guessing this was from her 1967 European tour, making her about 56 years old. I wonder how many diva singers (Mariah, Whitney, Christina, Celine, etc) could pull this off in their late 50's?

[@fzpe856]

Only Whitney would have done it, if she had not suffered from that disease. The other three are far from this.

[@iraklijanashia5567]

At least Celine in her 52 was still extraordinary, I hope she will surprise us even later. Age has not always been limitation for vocalists and there are much more fine examples. And lasting voice does not necessarily mean superiority of singer. Mahalia is very special, no doubt!

[@tikkunsoulam]

That opening was Mahalia as I Know her.

[@tikkunsoulam]

Ahhh- we know her operatic range.

[@jaykristian745]

@@fzpe856 Have you ever heard Mariah's song Heavenly? If she didn't have the nodules and would've taken better care of her vocals she definitely would've opened the same. She's a huge gospel fan from Richard Smallwood to The Clark Sisters. I agree with you regarding Celine and Christina though and of course Whitney was anointed and raised in the church.

[@malipres]

Always good~~^^

[@rayherbst6655]

The singer has a voluminous experience with the Lord Jesus Christ while the onlookers wonder what that might be and what that might mean….
