Who else is here after watching her sing at his funeral in the Lifetime movie..

Mahalia almost broke down during the singing of this. A few years previously, Dr King asked Mahalia to sing for his funeral...he knew his time was drawing to an end.

A normal singer would have been overwhelmed for emotion but Mahalia Jackson was not a normal singer: she was an angel!

We don’t talk about her enough!!!

Mahalia was the best and to this very day, is still the best! R.I.P my dear sister! Tynie

THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHY SHE IS THE QUEEN OF GOSPEL MUSIC.... SHE WAS SICK, AND SANG THIS SONG FOR DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. FUNERAL.... OH WHAT A QUEEN...

the police showed up to my house because I was playing her music to loud. My kids and I love her music.

Mlk jr and Mahalia Jackson were great friends who truly loved one another - : Mahalia would often accompany him to his rallies. It was during one of those rallies where she heard him talk abt a dream he had abt black and white children playing together. Later that same year, she was standing over to the side of MLK at the march on Washington while he was speaking from a prepared speech. Toward the end of the speech he hesitated a little and that's when Mahalia yelled over to him saying, " tell them about your dream Martin, tell them abt your dream". At that point, he glanced over in her direction, placed his prepared notes to one side and began improvising the I Have a Dream portion of his speech. There's an interesting article by Emily Crockett abt this magical moment entitled " The woman who inspired MLK jr.'s I Have a Dream speech.

when God made Mahalia Jackson,he didnt make another one! who else sing like that? I cant find one!

I ain’t heard a gospel singer that ever came close to mahalia Jackson yet! She always gave me the chills when I listen to her 🙌🏾

This is still soooo sad and even today makes me cry - I will never understand how people can act so senseless and brutal towards each other - he was such a great man! May God bless his soul!

Mahalia would sing and make you cry and put a hurting on you. This is the only singer who is able to do this.

most people didn't know about the two funerals..but my great grand mother informed me. I was 10 yrs old when Dr. King Jr was taken from us...I've followed in his path..fighting for Civil Rights...he was 1 of my mentors...my mom was first along with God.

amazing....she was getting older and still had the power

That lovely lady can sang!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...I'm at a loss for words. Just looking at her and listening to her, it's obvious that she was in another zone completely. She deeply loved Dr. King, and never fully got over this tragic loss. But the power of her voice and how it resonated over that crowd, is just amazing. She is indeed the greatest Gospel Singer of ALL time. If you have more, then please post it. A lot of people aren't aware that such an amazing lady existed...we need to fix that. God Bless you!

Wow!! such a powerful voice!! RIP Mahalia and Martin

She was amazing.

I remember when I was 13 watching Mahalia Jackson on our black and white tv sing at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s funeral. I've been touched by Mahalia Jackson's singing (my gospel favorite then Aretha) since I was a child.

how come someone like this hasent been made a saint being that she gave the world such a gift that stirs the heart.

Aretha Sang that at Mahalia Jackson's Funeral in 1972 only 2 weeks after she recorded her Amazing Grace record

So much hurt in her beautiful gift of a voice for her friend. 😔

im 1 minute and 20 seconds Mahalia just took my whole day to another level !! ... I love this woman !! .. God knows i do !! ... The voice seems very clear here ... even seems to bit a bit higher than usual ... I absolutely love that note at :11 -:15 !! Sing it Mahalia !!

Her heart was broken! 😭

The sustain, the depth, the emotion...I've loved her voice every since I was a child.

OF MLK IT CAN TRUELY BE SAID, GREATER LOVE HAS NO MAN THAN HE LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A FRIEND....

I was a little girl when mr king died but I still remember moms play ed in the upper room every Sunday morning before Sunday school good memory

Not to mention she loved Dr. King like a baby brother, or almost like a son (she was 18 years his senior). It is commonly said that Precious Lord was MLK's favorite song and legend has it that he asked Mahalia, his friend and favorite singer to sing it if he should pass on before she does, at his funeral. So she granted his request. Bless her heart.

no band just her voice... she makes me cry

God we have lost some beautiful real Angels in this world that we will never see the likes again. RIP ♥️⛅♥️👼🏿👼🏽👼🏾👸🏿👏🏾👏🏼❤

This will never get old. Mahalia Jackson song just like she song in the inmatation of life movie. She bought me to tears. There's nobody like her in gospel, she didn't change up for nobody. One of the greatest & favorite singers of all times.

😱🙌🏽😱Dear Ms. Halie: I was asked to sing in my former college’s production tomorrow. They didn’t say it was a play or anything they just asked me to sing Precious Lord. Here I am at the sound check & they say, “they’ll call you up during the funeral scene.” I prepare as if Nykole was going to sing then the actress says, “...singing Dr. Kings’s favorite hymn Precious Lord, Sis. MAHALIA JACKSON,” I instantly had to get my emotions together because this will be my 5th time having the honor of portraying you. Learning about you has been sooo great and I honestly wish I could have met you💜💜💜

Mahalia Jackson. A TRUE Southern Black Woman of GOD ALMIGHTY 😇

Who Else is here in 2023 watching this after the movie on Lifetime app? I know I'm late❤

Honestly when i hear her patti labelle and aretha makes me wanna be a christian

Gives keyless bumps

Gone but not forgotten. Eternal loves Ginjah and Levi 2016/05/12

God Angels AMEN

The good Lord broke the mold when he made this amazing woman.

MITICA VOCE🤗❤️👍

Amazing

Will never be another Mahalia Jackson so anointed

Lord,Lord,Lord this back in the day Amen, Amen, Amen believe in God he no it all.

Mahalia was blessed by God. She followed her direction in life! That brought her an increable wealth..yet $ was not her priority. Singing for America was her love for one another. We sure need it Now!

Mahalia Jackson war ein Engel, auch wenn du die Sprache nicht Wort für Wort verstehst, du fühlst jeden Satz. Auch Elvis A Presley konnte das. Du hast es einfach gefühlt. Ganz begnadete Sänger und Sängerin. R.i.P.

Thank you so much for posting ! I only wish there was more footage.

I still listen to her!rip

When she sings that part: 1:09 I got so emotional. The low voice cause deep emotions inside .

So many years I'm hoping to see this...sad, but wonderful through this rendititon of Precious Lord....

A very blessed lady 🙏😇

Thank you so much for posting this! An historical recording of Mahalia, full of tears and sorrow..."Precious Lord" seems to have been one of the favorite songs of Dr. King....

She was shownuff crying out to the most high lawd have mercy nobody could sing this song like the mother of Gospel

Angel Mahalia

250,000 people came out to pay their respect for a soul who brought the gospel of Jesus Christ all around the world and just look at the mother of Gospel trying to hold on and be strong crying out onto the most high god I am almost certain it was most definitely hard to bear the loss of this great man

wildwoman17 i loved mahalia jackson that woman touches me

AMAZING!!!!

Jesus cares and loves you all so Much ❤️

Mahalia Jackson and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. Earth is sending Love up! April 3rd 2021

Mahalia and Aretha Sing For A PurPose Bigger Than People Realize❤❤❤

Just look at the outpouring of support I never, ever in all my life seen so many black people together in unity in a peaceful setting . I am sure this was truly challenging and truly difficult for Miss Jackson too bear she was very close to Dr King according to what I read about their relationship and documentaries I witnessed with my own eyes on television their bond was unbreakable but death came knocking and Dr King answered I was just a little girl back then I remembered seeing my mom broken from the tears and I recall balling and crying my little eyes out with my little five year old self me and my beloved Momma weeping and moaning just like Mary and Martha. I didn't know any better I was just hugging my Momma crying and weeping. but god knows I truly didn't understand what was truly happening but by his grace and tender mercy Jesus knows I know right now lord have mercy Jesus take my hand.

thank you

Beautiful!

Thank you for the post.

Thank you!

Absolutely amazing.

I just grabbed her worlds greatest gospel singer album at the salvation army last weekend. I had never seen it anywhere except on BET in the last 30 YEARS.

AMEN!

Thank you so much for this!

Elvis movie brought me here

Her singing gives me chills! Whew weeeeee SANNNNG MAHALIA❤️🙌🏾

ÀMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤️ ✨️ 💖 2024

God bless you for posted this !

@blessedover: Yes, she did sing it twice. I think it was on different days though. The one she sung at the church she was wearing black, with a black and white hat (many of us have seen the picture online). Mahalia only did one verse. As soon as she sings the 2 words, "Precious Lord," you can hear a lady scream in the audience. I think this was the second day, before he was entombed.

The emotion 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I feel the Lord listening to her

The Greatest...

Beautiful. Wish the entire song was posted.

ONE WORD. ANNOINTED.THANKS FOR UPLOADING.

Mahalia Jackson 1911- 1972

long live both the king and queen

What a gift

Then in 1972,Mahalia laid to rest in Gods arms,now Her and Martin are together as the good friends they are

Wow

What a pain

Yes, Aretha and Mahalia both sang Precious Lord at Kings funeral. It was not a competition ppl. Ok?

@bradyman24 Yeah, unlike most singers (especially female singers) her voice did get higher in later years.

why is there no entire footage of this?

My Lord Jesus 🫀

I think MLK knew something was going to happen, for him to say I want you to play Precious Lord real pretty when they were suppose to go to that dinner, that ended up being the last words he said Wow.

Aretha did sing at kings funeral precious lord I have a video clip of her rocking the mic with a sad face and tears in her eyes she did indeed sing at kings 1st funeral service
