  • Here is another gem from my VHS archives. Our gospel Queen Mahalia Jackson as she appeared in 1957 singing on the Nat King Cole show. Listen to that voice so pure and powerful.

    I'm glad she lived in a time when recording technology existed, so that we don't have to content ourselves with hearing tales of her performances, and being left to imagine what she sounded like. How fortunate we are to have the evidence readily available to us. That woman had one heck of a voice, and knew how to use it.

    My Great Grandma used to play her musics almost everyday and she didn't like English speaking songs or musics because it wasn't her native tongue and she didn't know English... Out of curiousity, one day I asked her why she like Mahalia so musch she said, "She sing with such passion, I don't understand English but the passion in her voice interprets!" May the Sweet Lord bless you Miss Mahalia,... I miss you so much Grandma, Aloha vau ia oe Makua'hine O Hawai'i nei...

    Mahalia never sang R&R in her life. She was a consistent gospel singer all her life. She did sing a bit with Duke Ellington, but nothing inconsistent with her vocation as a gospel singer. The song that best desribe her saintly life is I'M GONNA LIVE THE LIFE I SING ABOUT IN MY SONGS. You are still singing for the Lord, sister. You will never be forgotten.

    Nat King Cole was televised without any sponsors - no commercials b/c no one would sponsor his show. Yet he was so good, and so beloved he had a weekly show anyway. Go figure that out. Why no one would sponsor his tv show.
