Celebrating Martin Luther King – The Man With the Biggest Dream of All!

Martin Luther King had the biggest dream of all and last night at Carnegie Hall an incredible celebration of a great man’s life took place. From all accounts Gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, “A lot of people don’t realize that just about all Negro spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano. Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow chant. And it has a haunting, haunting plaintive quality to it that reaches past your arrogance, past your pride, and it speaks to that part of you that’s in bondage. And we feel it. We feel it. It’s just one of the most amazing melodies in all of human history.” Watch this performance from start to finish. It brought the audience to its feet and I think you’ll have the same reaction!
