Mahalia Jackson - For My Good FortuneElijah Rock

Review by Cristiana Tumedei

For My Good Fortune / Elijah Rock by Mahalia Jackson – A Soul-Stirring Gospel Gem Let me just say this upfront: listening to For My Good Fortune / Elijah Rock feels like stepping into a warm, glowing room where time doesn’t exist. Released in 2014 under the BNF Collection label (yeah, outta France of all places), this album is two tracks of pure gospel gold. And honestly? It hits different—it’s raw, it’s spiritual, and man, does it stick with you. First off, “For My Good Fortune.” Oh wow, where do I even start? This track grabs you right away, not because it's flashy or overproduced but because it’s so damn real. You can hear Mahalia’s voice soaring like she’s talking straight to God Himself. There’s no filter, no gimmicks—just soul pouring out. The way she sings about gratitude and blessings makes you sit back and think, “Am I really thankful for what I got?” It’s kinda haunting but also comforting at the same time, if that makes sense. Like, yeah, life might be messy, but there’s still beauty in it. I remember humming this one on repeat while walking home late at night—it felt like my own little prayer. Then there’s “Elijah Rock.” Whew, chills every single time. If you’ve ever felt lost, this song will find you. It starts slow, almost hesitant, but then BOOM—the energy builds, and suddenly you’re clapping along without even realizing it. That rhythm? So funky yet holy, it’s wild how they pull that off. What stays with me most is how alive Mahalia sounds. She wasn’t just singing; she was testifying, shouting from some deep place inside her. By the end, I swear I could feel my chest vibrating. Not kidding. You know what gets me though? These songs came out decades after Mahalia passed. Yet here we are in 2014, hearing her voice again, as fresh as ever. It’s like she never left us. How crazy is that? Like she knew her music would keep touching people long after she was gone. So yeah, For My Good Fortune / Elijah Rock isn’t just an album—it’s an experience. Two tracks, sure, but packed with enough emotion to fill hours. Listening to it made me wanna call up someone I love and tell them how much they mean to me. Weird, huh? Maybe that’s the power of gospel. Or maybe it’s just Mahalia being Mahalia. Either way, don’t sleep on this one. Trust me—you won’t regret hitting play.

My Grandma favorite song getting ready for church on Sunday
The only song I saw her dance to, made her come out her room while getting ready/studying when I played the video on my laptop. Like she hadn’t heard this song in years. I would sit an awe ❤. They don’t make them like Mahalia or Mary Erma (gma) anymore. RIP Mary Erma 1923-2022 thank you for exposing me to these hidden gems.

If they ever do this remarkable woman's life story in cinema, Patti LaBelle should play her.

This song has been stuck in my head for weeks. And I thought I was pulling it from a false memory. When I was in grade school, 5th or 6th grade, we learned this song in music class, and we sang it along with several other grade school music classes. Nice to know it's not only real, but song by Mahalia Jackson.
