Amazing Documentary of an Amazing Hymn
I’ve been waiting for quite along time for this to be released on dvd. I originally saw snipits of this PBS Documentery way way way back when, sometime in the 90′s.Â
from the PBS Website
“This unique program presents adaptations of an enduring hymn, from country music to gospel to folk, in one of PBS’ highest-rated programs ever. Judy Collins sings in Columbia’s St. Paul’s Chapel, then recalls how “Amazing Grace” carried her past alcoholism. Jessye Norman sends “Amazing Grace” soaring across Manhattan Center footlights. Hear Johnny Cash, Jean Ritchie, and the Boys Choir of Harlem, all recorded on location across America”
