Gospel | Mahalia Jackson's Major Label Debut | Episode 1
Mahalia Jackson records for the first time in 1937 for Decca.
Her sound on those recordings almost don't sound the same as the Mahalia we end up hearing.
It's a younger voice that has a sort of a higher quality to it.
She is going along with the traditional melodic and rhythmic signature of the songs.
It is not as freed up.
How would you say her voice in "Oh My Lord", recorded in 1937, changed, evolved.
I think it got better and better because with "Oh My Lord", first of all, if you've heard the pace of the song, she has some lungs because not everybody can sing that high and then sing back to back like that.
♪ Will You sing ♪ on my tenor?
You sing on my baritone.
You sing on my soprano.
I know the Lord, He'll hear you sing, you sing, I sing.
And don't you worry about your leader.
Yeah, when I get to Heaven, I'm gonna put on my shoes, I'm gonna walk around Heaven, share the good news.
I'm gonna stand beside King Jesus, tell Him about my trouble, I'll be walking with the Lord, the Lord ♪ Oh, bravo, bravo, that is great!
