...to those asked to sing our national anthem at a sporting event. One of my high school classmates posted this on Facebook.
I'm sure most of us have felt the same way many times when a singer
thinks that warbling and yodeling is an improvement... or maybe they
can't hit and/or hold the notes... or don't care to learn the correct phrasing
of the original.
However I heard one version that I thought was exceptional. I was
very moved by José Feliciano's Star-Spangled Banner during the
1968 World Series... in my opinion it was very reverent and heartfelt.
