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

Professor Charles Clencey is killing that organ. Gwendolyn, Charles and Mahalia was having a low key praise break. 😂

Ezekiel said he saw him, John talked about him in the book of the seven seas, Some say the Rose of Sharon others say the Prince of Peace, I can tell everybody he been a rock and a shelter to me.

Raw talent, raw emotion…..truly the greatest gospel singer!!!

Mahalia wasn't playing with them Love her Lord, she's not only the greatest gospel singer but in general greatest voice of any generation.

The audience thought this was a performance, she was really testifying! 🙌

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.

This is what you call old time foot stomping gospel. Singing from deep within. Thank You .

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.

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.

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

I never get tired of this rendition!

she sang with everything she had in her

Still THE WORLD'S GREATEST GOSPEL SINGER OF ALL TIME!!!!

Standing ovation for tbe woman of God

Her hallelujahs are everything

I love it when she says "augh uuh thank you loid like fi in mah bonez whooo glory ---then the 3 claps---classic Mahalia!

I’m not a religious person, but hearing Jackson sing always fills me with a spirit I can’t describe. One of a kind woman

Praise the Living God! Still listening in 2021! God is Great Amen 🙏🏽😇

She felt tht thing..the anointing can be shut off jus becuz she stop singing..she had to let tht out she quoted Jeremiah when she said its like fire in my bones...only living saved n living holy will allow u feel the fire jus like tht..praise Him Mahalia

one of the greatest singers in the history of recorded music. period. pure, elemental power!

She was a gift from God. Tears are running down my face. I see God.Pastor ETP

Now that was true ministry in action! The souls that she touched that evening! It's about using the gifts and talents that God provides to kingdom build and to glorify Him. THAT was Mahalia Jackson!

She is so awesomely good, no one better, I I know a lot of good ones: Albertina, Marion, inez. But she is the best. Absolutely the best!

Preach!!! We must come back to God!!! If my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray and seek my face!!!!

I want to know the lord like she did.True love and relationship and walk with him.

Man, Mahalia in her day, no one could touch her. Still true today.

That deep cavernous sounding voice very moving

Respeto y admiro a grandes cantantes como Odetta, Rosetta Tharpe, Nina Simone, Whitney Houston etc, pero en mi opinión, Mahalia Jackson fue la mejor voz y cantante que hubo.

It is so good to hear Mahalia preach as well as sing. I so look forward to hearing her sing and hopefully even meeting her when I get to heaven. Thank you for this post!

I LOVE her singing!!! I get goosebumps when I listen to her!!!

She is more than a singer she is A WOMEN OF GOD AND HAS THE HOLY GHOST POWER INSIDE OF HER AND SHE IS WITH THE LORD NOW IN JESUS NAME AMEN>.

As a Louisianan, Mahalia Jackson is one of the voices that spoke and sung for us.❤❤ #legend

Singers of today should learn from this legendary woman.

Thank You - eternal epic singer, woman, spirited soul 💖💖💖

The power of God fills my very soul as Mama delivers this inspiration song from God. Glory to his name!!!!

This is by far my favorite song sung by her. You can feel the spirit of our ancestors in your soul when she sings it.

I could tell that she was feeling the spirit of God moving. The whole performance was beautiful!!

MAHALIA JACKSON had a lot of complications with diabetes; and she eventually passed on when her heart failed in 1972! She was definitely an awesome woman. Peace and love...

THAT APPLAUSE and that kid sitting in the upperdeck with the red sweater on- I bet he has never forgotten this experience. FRIGGEN AMAZING.

The Queen OF Gospel

Mahalia impresses me like no other. Looks like she is casting a spell

hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Mother of Gospel hands down!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

Lord how I wish I could have been born in the days of Mahalia Jackson! This woman sings with every fiber of her being, what an awesome talent... She’s Holy Ghost filled and I feel it! She’s the QUEEN 👑! #period

Oh my goodness did you hear the loud thunderous applause from those in the audience ? It was a sight to behold I just love this anointed woman of God beautiful soul

Pure Glory and honesty in each rendition.

LAWD..................THIS WOMAN SUNG HER WAY IN TO HEAVEN!!!!! HUFFING AND A PUFFING SANGING FOR THE LORD!!!!

I LOVE me some Mahalia Jackson. I love to watch her sing her hair into a mess! Just sing those wigs all down! A true Gospel Evangelist. I was raised on her records and she's just the greatest. I can't wait to meet her in person!

Just beautiful!

she moves me, from when I was a young child, like she moved my mother, my sisters.. she still moves me 50 years later, every time I listen to one of her great performances

oh how i would've loved to see her perform live. it woulda truly been a blessing!!!

the greatest!

A true rock and roller for Jesus 🙌🏿 my absolute favorite and greatest gospel singer

Love this LADY and her anointed singing.

The intro makes me wanna shout EVERYTIME!!!

Alright now Fire!!!!! felt a little dance at the end. What a wonderful women of God. She one of those Old SOLIDER that paved the road.

All I can say is WOW!!! I can barely keep the tears from rolling as I watch this... Just Awesome!!

I love Mahalia

Just been listening relaxing my soul. All I can say is wow....

So far my Middle School chorus has sang 3 songs by Mahalia Jackson. But only me and the teacher know because they don't like listening to the good stuff.

Raw gut soul and spirit. Greatest gospel singer of all time. A jewel from Heaven!!!

She brings tears to my eyes all the time she sings I am overcome with emotions.

I love when she says "thank you lord..got fire in my bones" and does that little dance

Loved her. A precious gem for our God. R.I.H

Totally absolutely spellbindingly awesome

Praise Him Mother Mahalia @4:59 "oww", it's like fire in my bones" Jeremiah 20:9..that same anointing that Jeremiah felt..u jus can't turn off the anointing..dear Lord..when u feel the Lord is a pleasant feeling u just feel joy u feel like running, leaping, doing somersaults..she jus tried to hold it in but its hard trust me..i would of been running all round the church lol! HALLELUJAH!!! DEAR LORD I THANK YOU!!

She`s a Goddess!

Man oh Man how I love Ms. Mahalia Jackson :)

I just Love This ❤️♥️♥️♥️ Lady ❤️😍😍 Your Royal Highness Queen Great Grandmother.... Mahalia for Gracing this World.......Stu

Outstanding

I didn't know she was this Big...WOW MAHALIA may she continue to *R🕊️P* Listen to what she says at the end😌

God given talent,and she gave God her everything.......she stirs my spirit.

Lord Have Mercy!! Sing that song Ms. Mahalia!!

GOD TOUCH MAHALIA VOCAL CORDS

ONE WORD PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

who ever was playing that hammond was doin their thing!!!! Yes God!!!

Spectacular!!!!........ To God be the Glory for the gift, the calling the anointing the power, the presence of the grace of God on her life~

Electrifying performance! maybe it's only me and my wrong impression, but looks and sounds if Janis, Tina, Aretha and some other stellar singers had learnt a lot from her. She was ahead of her time and this performance could sum-up all vocal developments of the 20th century.

Glory! Glory to Mahalia!

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.

Pra mim a maior cantora gospel de todos os tempos!🙋🏽‍♂️🇧🇷

It reaches the depths of my soul!

Nobody saw color now just the power of God in Mahalia's gift, love this, chase's my demons away Glory to God !!

Love what she said at the end Amen

Wonderful!

❤ u momma. Please tell my FATHER about 63. ❤ please send down your blessings 4 us.. love u grandma 33.

Absolutely my most favorite video on youtube!!! Man what a blessing!!!!

She always sung so hard,she was sick but she wouldn't give up.What a powerful woman RIP!!

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.

Grande voz

I am in the CLC gospel choir this semester and I can report that Dr. Clency is alive and doing very well as our choral director.

Ultimate faith lord with mercy Ms.Jackson 😇✝️

This lady, Mahalia , touch my heart. and most definitely was a vessel for the use of The Lord. Amen.

AND...I love how she never changed her personality to be a cross-over artist, or changed for the venue. Truly a lover of Jesus. I love it when the Holy Ghost would come on her. Bless her heart.

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!

Gwen Lightner Cooper On piano, Charles Clency on organ. This is in Orebro, Northern Sweden. SHe is absolutely stunning!!!!! Captivating, without drums, bass and all those things that bog down modern gospel. This was a working woman. YU SING HALIE

A Rock Star !!!!!!!

Mighty.
