Editorial Reviews

Shortly before her death, Mahalia Jackson embarked on a triumphant European tour. This film is not only a record of that historic tour, but also a captivating portrait of a gifted artist and warm, sincere woman. Includes performance footage of many of Mahalia’s greatest songs including Come On Children, Didn’t It Rain, We Shall Overcome, He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands, Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, Just a Closer Walk with Me, and many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars There was nothing wrong with the video., November 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mahalia Jackson [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Dear Fans of Mahalia Jackson:

I would like to inform you that there was nothing wrong with this video in my opinion. As for the color on the film being poor - what do you expect people? The footage was shot between 1969 and 1972 cameras were not as high tech as they are today!! The original documentary that was filmed by Allen Miner in the summer of '69 for the US State Department was not filmed as intended because he met opposition from a lot of the promoters of Mahalia's concert that year. But he put together the footage from the concerts, her press conferences, her rehearsals and even her wake and funeral on this tape after her passing, to give fans a glimpse as to who Mahalia was; her beliefs; her faith and her dedication to singing the gospel. I loved it. Having seen Mahalia perform years ago we never really got to see the human side of her much. You know, the everyday hardworking Mahalia. It also gives you a glimpse of the Holy Ghost filled singer who could make the most convinced of atheists shout amen. If you don't believe me, watch the video and watch her sing "Great Gettin Up Mornin'" or "I Thank God" or even "Just A Closer Walk With Thee"...Mahalia Jackson does not deliver a testimony...she is a testimony...a living witness to how God can take someone small and insignificant and make her great!! And she brings out her gratitude in every song she has ever sung...this video is no exception to that fact. Buy the tape folks!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pictorial Glimpse of the Great Mahalia!, November 6, 2003
This review is from: Mahalia Jackson [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Dear Fellow Mahalia Fans,
I was so taken by the sheer intimacy of witnessing a very personal side of Mahalia Jackson. One felt as if they were traveling with her and accompanying the Grand lady throughout Europe. The traveling scenes on the Rolls-Royce and the trains or seeing her feed the swans was truly captivating. Mahalia is seen walking into the great halls and gaze up at the ceiling with reverance.

The footage is fast paced and evident of the technology of its time but the singing quality is superb. I actually felt as if I was there, listening and witnessing her every movement. Mahalia demonstrates great ease and flexibility with every nuance of voice range and dynamic rhythm. One can feel the vibrations of an awsome spirit as she delivers powerful songs from her vast collection of gospel songs. She even tells the piano player when he is going too fast. She is in full command and she wants ultimate perfection in the timber and range of her power contralto voice. This documentary is great because it gives a full dimension of Mahalia Jackson, the Singer and the true Servant of the Lord. This tape is a must for the libraries of all Mahalia Fans.
