I was 9 in 1961 when I first heard Miss Jackson. Unforgettable! Still love her so.

[@JudahCub1981]

I remember the first time I heard her voice at the age of ten - “Holding My Savior’s Hand” - I have been enthralled by it ever since. I am grateful for Mahalia Jackson’s ministry and legacy til this day thirty years later.

I have great childhood memories of Miss Jackson’s music as well. My mother had a Christmas and greatest songs of Mahalia albums. Her singing has been with me all my life too. Pointing me to God. Reminding me of his goodness

I appreciate all this great music Ed Sullivan used to put on my black and white zenith tv.

[@theblacksheep5226]

All of these high voiced girl singers of today need to hear this lady sing.

[@pattibrooks1907]

Mom had her records and I used to listen to them growing up as a child but I think she died in the early 60s when I was little . She was very gifted !

[@PlanetRockJesus]

I remember seeing her on Sullivan when I was a kid. She's awesome. And now that I'm a Christian (45 years!) she's even better.

[@ABCDuwachui]

Wonderful you could hear them applaud before the song ended ❤️

HISTORIC!

Play back é para os fracos. Linda voz 💖

[@Dion_Mustard]

This extraordinary soulful human was Aretha Franklin's inspiration! I'd highly recommend "Mahalia Jackson Newport Jazz Festival 1958" (video on KZbin). Amazing piece of footage.

[@sheltv100]

I guess she had a much greater impact on the society with her music more than the Gathier Trio.

[@Playbyplaymedia]

Kudos to Harry Linetska.

[@MrChoirDirector87]

Could you please upload her first performance on Ed Sullivan? She sung “These are they.”

[@neppah5]

Emmanuel, type it in the youtube browser, it on here.

[@pattibrooks1907]

She died in 1972 I read just now but I thought she died early 60s but I was wrong .

[@MostlyBrenda]

She died at the age of 60, not in the 60s. 😢

[@pattibrooks1907]

@@MostlyBrenda Was not sure when she died did not know she died at age 60 . Thanks for telling me dear

[@Dion_Mustard]

she died so long ago and yet her music and legacy lives on.
