To walk away from a microphone like that, and still be heard so powerfully is beyond belief. How blessed those people in the audience were to be present at this performance.

GREATEST WALK OFF EVER FROM A MIC AND STILL HER VOICE EHCO LIKE THAT. SHE'S THE G.O.A.T!!!!

I am so thrilled that my grandmother introduces me to Ms. Jackson and her music when I was very young and today, I'm going on 71 years of age and when I listen to her my soul is at peace. In 1999 my only son was killed by gun violence in Washington DC, and for an entire year I listen to her singing It Is Well with My Soul and understood a lot more about death she did not worry about dying, and today I know it's well with my soul. Trying time and life happening to all of us it going to be alright one day. Sing Mahalia, I know you keep the souls in heaven entertain and the angels rejoiced to have you around the throne. When I hear the younger folks say Aretha Frankling Queen of Gospel, please don't think I'm disrespecting her NO! Mahalia Jackson was Queen of Gospel because she was guided by the God and sang to his glory.

My pastor at the time and Mahalia Jackson were friends and from the same hometown. while traveling to another church, we met her at a rest stop on the turnpike. She sat at our table and had a meal with us. I was mesmerized...beautiful personality, pleasant, smiling and making jokes. I was pregnant with my twins at the time and she rubbed my stomach for good luck, said a prayer and sang to my babies! I will never forget that wonderful experience. She is truly the absolute best gospel singer ever!!

Mahalia sing that song, today gospels singers can't come close to the feelings that Mahalia put in a song.

If you're reading this with tears in your eyes, know that GOD is speaking directly to your wounded soul through this message. You didn't just happen to stumble across this message.GOD led you to it.He wants you to know that He is making a way for you right now!He is healing that sickness. He is going to give you an opportunity that you've never had.He is going to heal your strained relationships.Stay in faith, bcos your breakthroughs is coming.🕊🕊🕊

She is the greatest gospel singer

Unlike some gospel singers today, Mahalia actually believed in what she said! Mahalia didn't sing gospel for fame she sang for God. pray that God blesses you and keeps you.

The thing I respect about this woman is that she allows the Spirit to guide her and she aint worried about what other people think. You have to feel "something" when you watch this.

To me she STILL is the Queen of Gospel..... NOBODY sings Gospel like Mahalia. Dear lady if there's a way you can hear me...you touched my heart ever since I was a little girl...and I thank you for your sharing your wonderful gift ; Your angelic voice. May this pass on for & to generations to come.

2:45...that's real singing when you can walk away and still project your voice like you havent stepped away from the mic

Everything going to be alright someday .....

Mahalia Jackson truly the first greatest gospel singer of all time

SHE WAS A GIFT FROM GOD !!!!!!!!!

Mahalia was anointed by God

Every gospel singer today owes a lot to this women. Before her, there was no such thing as a professional gospel singer. What a woman.

There will never be another Mahalia Jackson.

Mahalia makes me long for heaven, yet at the same time realize how wicked and sinful my own heart is, longing for a savior. Thank God for His grace and mercy, ad willingness to look upon such a sinful soul with kindness and mercy.

Humanity won't witness an artist of your caliber for another millennium.. and even then if human kind is lucky enough

this womon can sing she is my favorite singer and i am 16 year

The "Queen", "Voice", this is an Angel singing!!!!!!!!!! Listening in supernatural realm

I was born in 1977 so I only heard about how heartfelt this song was amongst my people during the Civil Rights era. This is the first time I actually heard this song and FELT what they must have felt singing it. She really believed this for her people, you can tell.

I love this woman and the song of light she shines on us all.. she's been a strength for this weak man who types to you now.. God bless her and you... love and peace..wa11ace.

Thank God for all the people who faught to be treated equally! No one should have to fight for that, this earth, land, oceans, etc was made for us all no matter the color or region! I thank God that African Americans knew that, and some didn't!

Very touching! My mom used to listen to Mahalia Jackson when I was young.

She was the greatest gospel singer of all time since her death over 40 years ago no one has come along to replace her. I still miss her. May heaven always be her dwelling ground.

Mahalia you existed way before my time and I feel like I have known you all my life. I miss you dearly and wished I could have been able to just hear you live. You are truly missed by all. For you are the Original and Only Queen of Gospel!

Just know in my time of sorrow burying both my children that I can play this & her powerful voice gives me some guidance & comfort..thank you Mahalia

Reminds of my mama,who died 51 yrs ago! She sang Miss Jackson to me all the time!😢

We are all sisters and brothers. This sister was and is the largest of the largest. Amen.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.....

Let me translate for the sweet babies we raised: Love, love, and more love. That's ALL: LOVE.

This lady is one of the worlds GREASTEST FEMALE VOCALIST its a pleasure to hear her voice .......just listen

I CAN'T STOP CRYING, I JUST CAN'T 😭SHE JUST BRING THE TEARS THAT WANT STOP. QUEEN OF GOSPEL.

I just see how much she loved the Lord when I hear her music and words.

I cried as if I lost my grandmother ❤

THANK YOU FATHER FOR YOUR DAUGHTER, LOVE ❣️ ALWAYS YOUR DAUGHTER, LINDA SUTTON

When they say the world's greatest gospel singer it was given to the right person,and at forty five I haven't heard anyone in this world today with this amazing voice like hers. This is what I call a true singer,and I know God gave her this amazing voice to touch so many lives.

It amazed me that kids took a field trip to go see her... Nowadays that probably would NEVER happen. That shows how much respect they had for her.

If we could all invite Christ to be our Lord and Savior, invite Him to dwell within our very spirits, and then yield to Him, ... O What a Wonderful World this World Would Be! RIP Sister

Rip mahila Jackson we love you so much

Microphones didn’t do her voice justice to me. Once her voice caught the acoustics of a room or stage you really caught the beauty of her voice. That chesty, throaty, powerful contralto was truly a gift to humanity from The ALMIGHTY GOD!

Tears... This reminds me of my childhood sitting in church at the age of 5 with my Grandmother.. Oh how I wish she was here to guide me in all this racial turmoil. How did she ever live through it? And I know it was worst for than it is for me. I didn't experience discrimination while she was alive so those was the questions I didn't know to ask. The pain my grandparents must've endured.. Nana , Pop Pop I miss and love you.

I am so thankful to have listened to this moving and powerful voice in our home when I was a young boy.Mahalia was "on loan " from Almighty God to testify in his name and inspire people like me to "believe"!

Thank you for downloading this. Words can't really express how powerfully gut wrenching this singing is.

She was absolutely sublime. What a great artist. Astounding voice, and such warmth, radiant and deep - one of a kind.

This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! I love you lord, I thank you Lord for all that I have, all that I am and all that is to come. I was a stray but now Im found. Amazing grace, you name oh Lord is so sweet to my ears!amen

@mallcolmx well.a white man here...one who was brought up listening to black music in the 1950s...played on my father's wind up gramophone...Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Bill Broonzy, many others. I love Indian Music too, and Arab Music, ... I too have a heart, I too have been through hardships........ poverty....

Mahalia's voice was so plain and clean and beautiful that she didn't need any extra notes or flowery runs for you to feel her. Just pure power and beauty, and she completely fills the room even as she moves away from the microphone. Just a one of a kind performer. Only Aretha at her best compares to me, although Aretha was totally different in her gospel style.

Bravo! It's making me cry 😪😔

60 years later we still haven't overcome....! The world is more vulnerable than ever!

I heard her sing this in person! Amazing….Grace….personified!

The Queen of Gospel..................Unmatched.

This song is very encouraging when your going throgh. thank God for Mahalia jackson

I love her performances so much. Such an inspiration!

she was the last angel on this earth !!! hope she lives in piece now

The Queen, the Voice literally an Angel singing!!! We have tapped into the Supernatural realm!!!

She was so amazing. I'll always love Mahailia Jackson and she will always be my favorite gospel singer

this lady is THE BEST. God please send another mahalia

I like to listen to this song when I'm feeling down because it really encourages me and I feel that everything is going to be OK. Thank God for Mahalia Jackson

When she sings heavens open and angels rejoice

We shall overcome one day. In my heart i do believe. We are not afraid no more. Everything going to be alright one day. We shall Sis Mahalia. We shall. RIP sweet lady.

Only one MahaliaJackson only one

If there's one song that can make me 'tear up' instantly it's Mahalia Jackson singing We Shall Overcome

we shall overcome.

When she backs away from the mic, her voice still concusses the arena. That's how powerful and soulful and holy her voice was and is. I tear up every time I see this, and I've seen it over 20x.

That leaving the mic was POWERFUL...it was almost prophetic when u keep lookin at it she waving to the crowd and saying children everything gonna b alright and when she sang the last part "one day" it was like an echoing to it like she was gonna b leavin to go and be with the Lord but it was gonna b alright powerful

She is beyond...and to exit the stage like she did and still be heard...sheesh! GOD bless!

Will meet her in HEAVEN ONE DAY Such amazing lady That LOVES Our Lord Jesus Christ

To: Mahailia Jackson, "HEAVEN" has pro-claimed it's "ANGEL" within you; and the world has lost, but gained [A] "BLESSING" from GOD!!!" "...R.I.P. Mahailia Jackson, you've earned your "CROWN" and "ETERANAL LIFE" with GOD"

When I hear her sing it gets down ...way down in my soul. It's like being nearer to my ancestors. The ones that put their life on the line for my freedom. Then I go back into the world and I see that freedom ever so slowly being taken away. By my people and the ones that diligently and deliberately work to oppress us as a people. I live and Chicago and I have to wonder if Jesus, Martin, Mahalia, Malcolm, and the other great prophets lived what would they say to us now.

Hearing Mahalia sing songs like this just about brings tears to my eyes just about every time

I ,wil try again ,and again and again ,because i do believe that we shall overcome Trough The Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony 📖

Wunderschön danke

59 years old... Today it has all its Sens💕💞🙏💖💖💖. the audience was as hypnotized by that voice these words.

this woman gives me chills up and down my spine. it gives me the lift, makes me smile and want to do better.

Who is still listening to the this song with me in 2020 . OMG. What a voice. This one once in a millennium. Rest in peace in Glory Ms Mahalia Jackson.

like a mighty wind, indeed. she's blessed.

A careful research of her biographies will reveal that this was not her last concert, although much misinformation is out there. This was 1969. She lived 3 more years plus a few months. Her final concert was in Germany in 1971.

God Bless your mother. May she rest in Peace...

A divine woman. Sometimes I wish that people like could just keep on living so that every generation could experience them. (Sigh!) Well I guess she (and others) live on in their ever fresh spirituals/songs. May the anointing of Mahaliah Jackson rest upon some present-day servant of the Lord Jesus!

we need someone that can touch us with is gift like she did

STILL GIVE ME CHILLS!!!

Mahalia Jackson still inspires people all over the world, as much as ever, through her music, through her spirit, and through the example of her life.

DANGGGGGGG! OH MY GOD!!!! LEGENDARY!!!

Today she is still vocally unmatched. You can tell this concert took a toll on her health by the end of the song by how she walked away, waving to the audience "Chulrun Everythang's Gonna Be Alright (walk's away like the true Queen she was) Some-Day" Now tell me what artist can pull that off

how quickly we forget where we come from sometimes... If my people who are called by my name would humble themselves, pray, seek my face turn from their wicked ways then I will forgive yo sins, heal, deliver & set free... hali was interceeding for us as she sung that song & I believe God heard her we were just lucky to listen in as she sung to God...

Why doesnt this video have a million views yet?

wooooooo felt this in my veins!!!!! awesome

That's nothing but God's glory!!!!

This is literaly a 'chills down the spine moment' - fantastic

This is a treasure, thank you for posting this elfeco. It really shows the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement. That Mahalia could go to a foreign land and sing this song baring her soul, and have it translate through language and culture is a testament to the commonalities we share as humans -- very powerful. I hope we can stop finger pointing, and debating about who's at fault and just concentrate on how we can improve the world and make it better, so that we can overcome one day.

We need this in 2020 so bad😭

there is no one you can touch the power and beauty of ms. jackson. She is the soul of music.

We all come from the same source regardless of race, caste, wealth etc. Mahalia sang about that that connects us all regardless of language and place. She was blessed with a voice that cut through hatred and ignorance that which rascism divides the soul to god the eternal ---eternity. No death no hatred just life ...Live !

When things in this world is looking bleak just listen to this song and see the power of God using Mahalia to send such strong message to his people to not give up but everything gonna be alright one day. The light that shines behind Mahalia head gives her an image of an angel. Her voice and countenance is like looking God in the face. What a God sent angel.

When the late "Mother of Gospel" sings; she truly makes you feel something - even if you don't have the spirit within you. My God, created someone who was different and there is no other like this woman. What a beautiful song. It touches my heart deeply. Peace!
