5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it., October 6, 2007
I remember listening to Mahalia Jackson growing up. I bought this particular cd for my grandmother and she listens to it several times a week. It makes her happy so it makes me happy.

4.0 out of 5 stars *SLOWER* Mostly Live Mahalia!, July 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I'm only giving 4-stars to THE ESSENTIAL MAHALIA JACKSON because of the song section on this two CD set.

Most of the songs are slower-tempo gospel songs and, although they show off Jackson's immense vocal prowess, they just didn't really move me like another Mahalia Jackson CD that I own (The World's Greatest Gospel Singer).

Even though a lot of the tracks are performed live they don't capture the excitement of a live performance and Jackson sounds like she's holding back some on many of these songs.

On the plus side you do get some live performances and Jackson sounds really good and even hits some really high notes every now and then. And as far as the poor audio quality on "I've Been Buked," I believe this is the live performance that Mahalia did at the "march on Washington" where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I Have A Dream..." speech.

Anyway, it's not a bad CD but for my taste I like the rocking gospel songs that make me want to move and tap my feet.

Mahalia Jackson has the voice of an angelic true believer. The first volume of this collection is exquisite. Read more
