My husband passed away about a week ago. All he could manage towards the end of his life was a careful shuffle. This song keeps playing in my mind. Somehow picturing him walking all over Heaven in his brand new shoes is very comforting. He's gonna walk. He's gonna talk. All over God's Heaven
I fIrst heard this song about 55 years ago, as a child watching and old cartoon (1932) on television. Funny how decades later, I have never forgotten this precious African-American spiritual. Love it!
Mahalia.....what can you say?? Me and Mom had her playing at my dad's funeral. We are white, so many of our kinfolk didn't understand, being rather stodgy, this beautiful black woman's spirited singing. Dad would have loved it.
She was indeed the worlds greatest gospel singer.
