    Ms Mahalia Jackson was part of my family, My mother Gloria Griffin, of The Roberta Martin Singers, and The Caravans toured all over with Ms. Mahalia, she was my brothers God Mother, she helped to raise us, My Grand Father Rev. Dr. William Herbert Brewster wrote this song for her, I hear her voice but I also hear my Grand Fathers heart in the words. Mr. Joshua Nelson sounds exactly like " Ms. Haley " we called her affectionately. She was so amazing I knew her as a child and, they all loved the Lord with their heart and soul. I really miss her so much, she was also very funny, and loved children even she never had any of her own. I will always love her she taught me many things about life. I am planning to write a book, and produce a film about the Gospel singers. I have many stories about the real lives of these Great Gospel Men and Women of our time.

      Try again with this made up story. This song was written by Clara Ward and her siblings and mother who she was in a group with at the time. They wrote it based on an experience they had driving through the southern states en route to Georgia and encountering racist white men. They were taken by these men and were litterally lucky to make it out alive. For those who don't know, Clara Ward was Aretha Franklin's stepmother and Aretha was hugely influenced by her, which is why she chose to do a remake of this song for her first gospel album. Aretha's version has become the version everyone know and sing today. Clara was a very influential gospel singer at the time, this song just became more popular by Mahalia because of her amazing rendition of it. Much like what Whitney did with "I will always love you". Most people don't know it was written by Dolly Parton years before Whitney song it.

    I normally do not much care for singers who choose to imitate another singer when performing - especially if they are singing a song that was a hallmark of said famous singer's lifetime of singing. I was prepared to roll my eyes when I began listening. I was very wrong. It is very hard to put into words the sort of living spirit that Mahalia Jackson brought to each and every song she sang. She lived her faith and it radiated from her soul, though her throat and on to Jesus! Somehow, Mr. Nelson, in studying the singing of Mahalia Jackson, has tapped into that light and presents it extremely well. Yes, he deliberately takes on every one of her mannerisms and vocal stylings like any good impressionist, but he takes it WAY beyond that by putting his spirit into the song. His first few words sent chills up my spine because they carried the authority and majesty of Mahalia's voice. I have NEVER seen or heard a singer do such justice to another singer. I would love to witness this man in concert, if he is still singing (and I hope he is). God's grace and peace be upon him!

    I'm so blessed to have lived long enough to hear Mahalia Jackson, and hear her again. I think God is trying to tell us something.

    This is the kind of music i was raised listening to as a child, then teenager and now as a grown woman with 2 kids of my own. When my boys hear it they know its time for church. It brings back a lot of good memories.

    How I got over
    How I got over
    You know my soul looks back and wonder
    How I got over
    (rpt)
    Soon as I can see Jesus
    The man that died for me
    Man that bled and suffered
    Hung on Calvary
    I'm gonna thank him
    For how he brought me
    I'm gonna thank God
    For how he taught me
    Yes, thank my God for how he kept me
    I'm gonna thank him 'cause He never left me
    I'm gonna thank God for ol' time religion
    I'm gonna thank Him for giving me a vision
    I'm gon' join the Heavenly choir
    And I'm a-sing and never get tired
    I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round God's alter
    And I'm a-shout all my troubles over
    Lord, we got to thank you
    Thank you for being so good to me
    (chorus)
    I'm gon' wear a di-garment
    In that New Jerusalem
    I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
    In that homeland of the soul
    I'm gonna view the hosts in white
    That been traveling day and night
    Coming up from every nation
    On their way to the great coronation
    Coming from the north, south, east, and west
    On their way to a land of rest
    Lord, we gonna join the heavenly choir
    We gon' sing and never get tired
    Lord, we gon' sing somewhere 'round your alter
    And we gonna shout all our troubles over
    Lord, we gotta thank you
    Thank you for being so good to me
    Hmmm, I wanna thank you, this morning
    I wanna thank you, Lord, this morning
    You know all, all night long
    You kept your angels watching over me
    And you told your angels this morning
    You told your angels, Lord, this morning
    You said, "Touch her, in my name"
    You said, "Touch her, in my name"
    And I rose, I rose this morning
    Lord, I rose, I rose this morning
    With the blood, blood running warm
    All in my veins, Oh Lord
    Lord, I feel, I feel like running
    Lord, I feel, I feel like running
    Lord, you know I feel, feel like running
    Lord, Lord, I feel, I feel like running
    Lord, I wanna thank you
    Thank you, thank you for being
    So good to me

    Not a talent
    It calls anointing
    We as Christians
    Who are praising God
    Do not have talent
    God gifted us to glorify him
    Not to show our talent. This man is gifted and the Lord used him and let him delivered the song exactly like Mahalia Jackson sung it in the 60s in her ministry.
