Wow! This is a powerful DVD set! Mahalia Jackson sings like few gospel artists can. She sings some wonderful songs such as “Getting Happy” and “A New Beginning” and “A Life in Transition”. These songs are encouraging and can inspire listeners of any age. This DVD set features a documentary about her life and a DVD of songs. The documentary shares her humble beginnings and how that God can use anyone dedicated to his service. Although her mother died when she was only five, Mahalia persevered and fought against poverty and racism and a lack of focus on gospel music to eventually sing at Carnegie Hall and be presented the first Grammy Award for a gospel artist.
We are more than glad to award our Dove Seal to this energetic two-disc DVD set. Give it a watch and a listen and soon!
