IMHO, here is the best Amazing Grace, by Celtic Thunder, I have ever heard.
I’m sure you will like it too.
Thanks all. But listen to the group behind Nana Mouskouri. They too come across as really good. Just curious as to who they are. Besides its a mystery :<)))
To each his own. I was pretty disappointed the first time I heard NM’s Amazing Grace. The choral group ruined it for me, basically drowned her out. Sacrilege!
How much better if she had recorded it self-backing, ie, recording the background as well, and overdubbing it.
Or maybe a counterpoint duet with her own voice.
Two tracks of that wonderful one-vocal-chord voice, beats one of it with any dozen others in the background.
Speaking of Mouskouri, I never could decide who did “Three Bells” better, NM or Edith Piaf.

My father and I became friends with Tennessee Ernie Ford in his last years of life. He gifted me a couple albums which were mostly gospel he had done. He is one of my most listened to gospel artist alongside Bocelli. I also had the honor of escorting his body back home when he passed away in DC. Christmas music I have to go with Trans-Siberian orchestra, Bing Crosby and older mormon tabernacle choir and Rush’s favorites he had on his program.
