Weekend Music Chill

The events in Colorado have dampened my spirits. I thought it appropriate to share this music from one of the great voices of the 20th century. Certainly more so than the more popular music I normally post.

Here is Mahalia Jackson with Trouble of the World from the movie Imitation of Life (a movie that was ahead of its time):



Here she is performing "Be Still my Soul"



I usually can't listen to the second hymn without crying.
