Episode 139: Mahalia Jackson


I needed a little encouragement on Sunday, so this episode is the beautifully brilliant Mahalia Jackson in a November 12, 1957 appearance on the short lived "Nat King Cole Show" on NBC. In this episode Mahalia sang two songs, the one included in this episode is "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho". Mahalia Jackson was featured in Nat's then-current movie "St. Louis Blues," which is a pretty good movie...you should check it out if you get the chance. But this episode is Mahalia at her best, so listen and be encouraged as you work through this week. Peace.
