"AMAZING GRACE": The Blind Boys of Alabama

I love this version of this song! I just saw these men for the very first time on TV less than an hour ago. They are awesome!!!

They actually mixed the two on purpose.

I did the same reflection on the first chord and for the first time in my life. I have been singing both the songs for years and never noticed this before. :-)

I saw these men in concert last night and sing this live at the Magestic and they blew me away!! They are Far-OUT! AWESOME! FANTASTICE! FABULOUS! knOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!

This is because the arts aren't about "kinds" or "genres," but artists. I don't care about gospel music either, per se, but there are geniuses who performed gospel music. The same is true for rock and roll, jazz, classical music, etc. Human existence turns on the geniuses, rather than the hangers-on, able to mimic genre-conventions and reproduce product in a similar vein. If we you hear are what most people think represents a given kind of music, we miss the giants who walk among us.

This is not the kind of music I use to listen, but when I hear it... I feel so good, relaxed, so... in another place, in paradise... and this is just... so beautiful and perfect ! Anyways, I just love it ! Thank you !

It is exactly the same. I've been playing both songs (House of the Rising Sun and Amazing Grace) Good ear.

hey it sounds like house of the rising sun...doesn't it?

Brilliant!! The richness of the tune is soul touching combined with the words!

when i heard this, i could not even look at, no less talk to the humans i was visiting with. had to just stand in the music room with my jaw on the ground. listening..........
