“The Star-Spangled Banner” – José Feliciano

[media=https://youtu.be/UEg0WG_ty_M]
José Feliciano’s version of the national anthem, performed by the Puerto Rican musician at Game 5 of the 1968 World Series. It was highly controversial at the time.

I find it especially poignant when I listen to it today.

I think my favorite is the Whitney Houston superbowl version

@ElwoodBlues It's a powerful version, for sure.

She was an incredible performer and is still missed by many of us. 😞
