Whitney Phillips had me tears with that awesome song, "Heal Our Land"

[A Citizen Reporter]

"If we could be FREE!" ......

What a wonderful song! Written by Orrin Hatch of Utah

[Nowhere Man]

Beautiful song..."Heal Our Land". What a magnificent baritone voice!

Love his voice, didn't he sing at Ronald Reagan's funeral, IIRC?

[DaveMSmith]

Wow Orrin Hatch wrote it

[Right_in_Virginia]

"Heal our Land" was written by Orin Hatch!

[WestCoastGal]

[cyncooper]

Fox lets us hear the song, MSNBC and CNN talked over it.

Brit informs that "Heal Our Land" was written in part by Orrin Hatch!

[LDub]

Whitley Phipps! That's who it was! I loved his voice as a child. My dad used to play his album all the time!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Britt says that song was written in part by the Senator from Utah....Orrin Hatch/

[processing please hold]

Yeah...I just heard that...cool

[Lemondropkid31]

On CSPAN I saw in the background, a #41 grand-daughter who looked to be in her late teens or early 20's, walk down a row of chairs on the platform and give a man in uniform a big hug. Probably a big reunion time for extended Bushes and WH assigned military and SS from grandpa's days in the WH.

[Quilla]

I bet newdou is having a cow!

Priceless!

[flitton]

Apparently the song was written by Sen Orrin Hatch

Liz and Mary Cheney introduced.

[KevinDavis]

I wonder why he wasn't at Reagan's funeral..

[mass55th]

Brit Hume said that Orrin Hatch co-wrote that song back in '97.

[Jo5329]

CSPan is not talking over what's going on. I'm watching via my computer

[silent_jonny]

Yeah, I know--while the guy was singing all I heard was clip-clop-clip-clop.

[ohioWfan]

I'm gonna just watch now. See you all later!
