Seeing as Mahalia was already experiencing real and serious health problems by this point, this isn’t all that funny. By this time Mahalia had already had at least one heart attack and had been diagnosed with sarcoidosis, the same disease that killed Bernie Mac. Also, as Mahalia was the most famous and most successful gospel singer in the world at that time, while she may have had a lot of problems, this performance wasn’t one of them.
@@direfranchement she had a heart attack after Rev Cleophus Robinson sang this vary song and fact he sang all her songs before she hit the stage and she call him every name but a child of the most high.... I even heard a story about Mahalia being at DuSable high school in passing by the auditorium while they were rehearsing move on up a little higher she went and stood behind the lead singer and folded her arms and the room went up lol
