Aretha Franklin Sings 'Amazing Grace'
‘Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.’
On August 16, 2018, the world lost a legendary singer when Aretha Franklin passed away. Aretha was known as ‘The Queen Of Soul’ and she truly left behind a lasting legacy. I’m pretty sure that everyone knows some songs made famous by this talented singer such as ‘Respect’ and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water.’ These number one hits have been covered by countless artists over the
years but no one every performed them quite like Aretha Franklin.
Today, we’re taking a look back at one of her most memorable performances from the 2014 Women Of Soul concert at The White House. During this special concert, Aretha performed one of the most powerful hymns of all time, ‘Amazing Grace.’ And since she’s the ‘Queen Of Soul’ you know that she had to put her own unique spin on this classic. It’s such a soul-stirring rendition and you can feel her passion and love through every single note.
I think this is the perfect song to remember such an amazing woman and performer. Even though the world is now mourning her loss, there is comfort in knowing that her legacy will continue to live on through all of her beautiful songs. She was truly an inspiration to generations after her and she will continue to be remembered for years to come. Do you have a favorite Aretha Franklin song?
