from Oannes blog…
A bit of an understatement but… what a voice!
Η βασίλισσα του gospel, ηχογραφημένη το 1968 στο περίφημο carol του Adolph Adam.

More about these reblogs
Lately I have been rebloging music videos from Oannes new blog. For my friends who didn’t know, or wonder why…. Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and mine] musical selections. • Although here I reblog mainly his musical selections, he writes exceptional articles on various topics [some may need translation], so do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!

I love to hear her sing, Marina. When I was a child I heard Mahalia Jackson sing in church. I didn’t know her greatness at the time, but I certainly never forgot it. 🙂
Oh…. how very fortunate!!!!!!! An experience to cherish! Me too… and later I’ll be posting one more song with her voice! 😘🤗
As I told your hubs, I forgive him for sharing this one (I have her album of Christmas songs and it is my MUST-LISTEN every year) instead of Silent Night – which, as far as I am concerned cannot be sung by anyone as well as her… 😉
kalá Christoúgenna!
I think you’re right on that last one… I think this [O Holly Night] is such a beautiful carol! What a grand voice …with extra emphasis on grandeur! Merry Christmas, Dale! xoxoxoxoxo
😉
She had such a powerful voice – Did you ever see “Imitation of Life”? – she sang at the funeral… such a small bit but oh boy!
Thank you!
xoxoxo
You mean the ’59 movie? I may have, very young not sure, although I would remember her, so … I’ll check it out! 😉 ‘oh boy’ pretty much covers it!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo
Yes. I saw it a few times… gets me every single time.
Something tells me it’ll have same effect on me! 😘
Unless you have a heart of stone. Which you don’t. 😉
