Title: Greatest Singer of the 20th Century
Review: It was a great joy to see this video. Mahalia doesn't sing a song, she "lives" it. The audience feels that she has got a direct cable to God. Never before I heard such a great version of "We shall overcome". She sang it in the church of Uppsala, Sweden. Every person in the audience and every viewer of the video feels the presense of God. Just a little bit sad is, that the director of this video made some mistakes. So, it was not Mahalias last Europe Tour. This video depends on her tour of 1969. Her latest Europe tour was in summer 1971. I saw her at Hannover in September 1971. Some days later, in Munich, she collapsed. And there are other wrong comments, too. It would have been better that the director had read L. Goreaus biography "Just Mahalia, Baby". There you can read everything about her Europe tours between 1952 and 1971. But inspite of that, it's a great video about a wonderful woman. There will be no other Mahalia. She is the greatest!
