America The Beautiful -- Ray Charles

Indeed, God graces the whole Universe. Is there not beauty everywhere? I've seen the mountains of Salzburg and a rainbow across the Caribbean Sea. With that said, I post this song because RAY CHARLES ignores ideology and politics, and he stakes claim to his birthright: to love America and call it his home. The song really gets to me. But, it's Ray Charles! Growing up in our household, Ray ruled the hi-fi!

t's like an anthem for Black folks, like Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday. I'm gettin grandmotherly here and this is one of those songs that I want my grandchild to hear a lot. Ray and Michael Jackson will always be in my household. There are many greats, but these are my favorites. Oh yeah, and Mahalia Jackson...
