Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia Honors the Gospel Artist s Story & Ability to Unite | Arts & Entertainment

Cynthia Erivo brilliantly portrays the legendary singer in a four-night biopic. Pursuing gospel seems dubious until 1947, when “Move on Up a Little Higher” becomes a hit, which is exciting to watch. (Brooks, above, performs her own vocals with real skill and passion.) She’s honored with an invitation to sing at Carnegie Hall…but feels unworthy. Thankfully, Mahalia’s longtime piano player, Mildred (a sympathetic Joaquina Kalukango), helps her overcome her nerves to give a showstopping performance you won’t soon forget. (Credit: Courtesy of Lifetime) That honest relationship and others — with adopted son John (Benjamin Charles Watson) and with Martin Luther King Jr. (Rob Demery), who invites her to the March on Washington — ground the film. As the years pass and folks still congregate to hear her sing, we realize Mahalia’s legacy is not just her voice but her incredible ability to bring people together.
