We sang this spiritual in school, back before they outlawed the word of God. But we didn’t sing it like Mahalia Jackson!
Requested by Phoebe, Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho–and on the Nat King Cole Show, no less, in 1957. You get two greats for the price of one.
Been a long time since I’ve heard this one, or this singer, but brings back memories.
Great stuff! These songs have really helped people live in the Bible — like the aural version of stained glass windows. I wish we could hear more of them today.
I still can’t believe we used to sing this one in school. The tripe we’ve found to replace it would turn the stomach of a Komodo dragon.
Wow she can sing!
Mahalia Jackson. Wow is right. If God did it back then for His people, He can certainly do it for His people today.
