Mahalia Jackson – Holy, holy, holy!
November 19, 2009 in Lord by admin
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy!

Her Aunt Duke’s name was not Mahalia. It was Mahala! You are correct when you mentioned that Mahalia Jackson was named for her. Jackson’s birth name was Mahala, from which her nickname Halie is derived. Jackson added the “i” in the 1930s to distinguish herself from her domineering aunt!

Mahalia Jackson did not just sing spiritual songs. She lived them. This is the difference. she loved the lord and the God Blessed her with a Magestic Voice.
