I have some great patriotic music coming your way, but first. . . it's Sonday!!! So here's a great song for worship. Then scroll down for some real oldies but goodies! The music is Chris Tomlin's Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone. The video tells about the life of John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace. If you haven't seen the movie starring Ioan Gruffud yet, go rent it now!!!
NOW. . . on to some real classics!
This is one of my favorite B&W clips for the 4th of July. Sit back and enjoy Jimmy Cagney, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland doing George M. Cohan's Yankee Doodle Boy!
Now here's the incomparable Kate Smith doing her signature song (written for her by Irving Berlin). . . God Bless America, set to a newsreel from the 1930s. After this, there's a more modern version that impressed me. Keep scrolling!
I love this song. I listened to many renditions of God Bless America. . . and then I found this one, done by country chanteuse Martina McBride. I think you'll be as impressed as I was!
And now. . . for the Grand Finale. . . enjoy America the Beautiful sung by the Gaither Vocal Band. This is the GVB including Bill Gaither, Guy Penrod, David Phelps and Russ Taff. Beautiful!
