So many choices, I just had a hard time with this one. I’m so glad it’s over because of the results. I am on cloud nine and I feel like playing some Lil’ John, and getting crunk, but I decided to play it low key. So, I picked my favorite singer in the world, singing one of the oldest songs we know…
Let’s do that again, this time with Ms Whitney Houston.
This is the last time, I promise. My heart goes out to Jennifer Hudson and her family. This song just has new meaning, and I just can’t get enough.

The Marvin Gaye Star-Spangled Banner may be the all-time greatest public performance anywhere. I was floored back in the day when I heard it.

Whitney is the queen of “Star Spangled BANNER” No one can ever ever top that performance. My heart goes out to jhud too, she sang that song amazingly well.

Marvin, Whitney, and Jennifer the trifecta of great Star-Spangled Banner renditions. Great choices! Happy OSF!

I never heard Marvin Gaye sing the Star-Spangled Banner before.
Whitney is the classic and one of the best renditions ever.
I hope that Jennifer is doing well.

I’ve got to vote for Marvin as the best rendition…with Whitney as a very close second (if not a tie for first)…
Spectacular choice…I am in tears, yet again!

Are you trying to kill a sista?…lol
The Marvin Gaye version – exceptional. I still remember it like yesterday.
Whitney – as much as we joke on her, she will forever be The Voice
Jennnifer: Speechless
Love the picks.

I’ve n ever heard Marvin Gaye sing that song that is a keeper for sure. Jennifer’s version is quite splendid as well. It’s hard not to feel this song this week.

Wow, that was a great rendition! Marvin even makes an anthem rock, lol.
My OSF was a combination – a link to another moment in Presidential history and a dedication to a late friend – and I thank you for stopping by, reading the post and helping me honor a friendship of many years.
