 |  | THE BEST OF MAHALIA JACKSON |  |
This is the best of the CD's I purchased at this time, but still a disappointment, though i will listen to it sometimes. Having a copy of Mahalia singing with the Percy Faith orchestra on the recording "The Power and the Glory" my husband and I were expecting something as rich and moving as the above. Definitely an inferior recording to the one we own. Sorry.

October 2, 2008I've always loved singers who not only sing from the neck up but also sing from the depths of their being. I remember when I was growing up and hearing one of my Dad's old Christmas LP's and hearing Mahilia Jackson's version of Away in a Manger. Of course, I was very young when I first heard it but it floored me. I knew this was something special. As the saying goes, "that woman can sing". An American institution.

One word.... Magnificent. More than 5 stars... 100! Ms. Mahalia Jackson puts a stirring in your soul. This cd is quintessial for the inexpensive person. Trouble Of The World stirs your soul to yearn for the Lord to come down now! In The Upper Room makes you get on yo' feet and shout GLORY! HALLELUJAH! If you want some GOSPEL.. not that contemporary mess that's out today(that's straddlin' the fence or doing the Tango with the EVIL ONE) Get you a heapin' spoonful of this goodness that'll put your soul in good cheer

March 11, 2007I've always loved Mahalia Jackson, but this is the first CD I've ever purchased. I love it!
October 2, 2005My Goodness this is quite a compelation!!! I thank my God for annointing this woman to sing like...like...like, well, I don't even know how to describel her. You can actualy feal what she sings. You can feal the sense of longing and expectation for rest and reward after a life filled with trial and tribulation. You can also feal the joy and serenity I'm sure she had due to the One she loved to sing about most: her life's Love, and mine: Jesus of Nazareth! This cd has wonderful sound quality and a lovely selection of some of her different modes-- from jubilee, to sorrow/longing, to almost classical-slash-jazzy! You won't be dissapointed! May she rest ever in God's peace.
