MAHALIA JACKSON Live late 1960's We shall overcome

We shall overcome--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

You don't have to believe in her God to be moved by Mahalia's rendition.

I really wish she could here to see Obama, the 44th president of the U.S. She played a very important role in the Civil Rights movement...

I agree -- the transcendent and all-knowing love of God sees far beyond sexual orientation and gender identity. God bless you, greatstone00 You are in His precious keeping.
