5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest gospel album ever recorded., June 3, 2000

This review is from: Live at Newport 1958 (Audio CD)

Epiphany, is the word that describes this disc best. The power, energy, and the conviction that Mahalia possesses has never been duplicated. If while listening to such outstanding cuts like, "The lord's Prayer, Didn't It Rain, When The Saints Go Marching In, On My Way, An Evening's Prayer, and A walk In Heaven, you are not moved, then may I suggest that you make an appointment with your doctor, to check for a pulse.

This review is from: Live at Newport 1958 (Audio CD)

In my childhood, I enjoyed this album at the home of a neighbor. I have always wanted my own copy of it and just recently found out, nearly 40 years later,that it was indeed available.

This is a "masterpiece". Mahalia's personality as well as her God-given talents are showcased here!

This is a collector's dream!

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF COLUMBIA'S LEGACY HIGHLIGHTS--IN MY OPINION THE BEST REAL REISSUE, January 3, 2006

By 

Steven "sweethotpepper" (Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live at Newport 1958 (Audio CD)

Here we hear the great artist in an original-restaured recording of the 1958 NEWPORT FESTIVAL, being in good form and having a great athmosphare.
Fortunately COLUMBIA-LEGACY found the original tapes and went on to restaure the real tapes, giving up the company's old goal to mix the live-recordings with studio-cuts to commercialize it.
Thank God the Legacy producers gave us back a time-document so precious and unique and i pray for more such holy sounds.
