What Customers Say About The Star Spangled Banner:

No really, i never heard such a voice singing The Star Spangled Banner. One word. gorgeous.

Actuially (and ironically) it was composed by an Englishman, John Stafford Smith.1750-1836 and was originally titled Anacreon In Heaven (Source: The Oxford Companion \to Music). One quibble: the disc cover states that the anthem music was 'public domain' suggesting it was from some unidentified folk source. This interpretation surpasses all others I have heard.not merely because of Whitney Houston's passionate rendition.but also because of the brilliant orchestration by John Clayton Jnr and the Florida Orchestra. Recording quality was patchy, but excusable at this outdoor venue.

No one ever sung this song like that and it is so good and is perfect.

when she sings she truly captivates the listiner. i have never hered the anthem sound so powerful and meaningful. i truly hope that now whitney has overcome her troubles and can once again reclaim her rightfull place in music history along side aretha frankin as one of the best singers ever. i have always loved whitney from the first time i saw her on the merv griffth show back in 83'. from that prefomace, it was evident that Whitney was destined to be a mega star.this preformance of the star spangled banner is incomprable.

to the words about our country, not about pop stars getting tv time. They've never really listened to the words. Listen to Sandi Patty's version and.just listen.
