<b>We shall overcome</b>--very moving she gets totally saturated with the song, even at the end as she walks from the mic the power of her voice is still overwhelming. This song was a staple of the civil rights movement, Mahalia worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King. She also sang Precious Lord at his funeral in 1968

  • My mom always said ...

    My mom always said when mahalia performed live, she usually ad to step back fromt he microphones because her voice was so powerful you would get too much audio feedback. She's got one of those true old school voices meant for open air ampitheaters, where you need no synthetic or electrical help at all

    That is so true what the narrator said. A believer in the Lord's holy and perfect way doesn't have to worry about death.
