| | “AMAZING GRACE” BY WINTLEY PHIPPS From the Soul of the Piano’s Black Keys.... At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, "A lot of people don't realize that just about all Negro spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano”. Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow chant. Mr. Phipps delivers a stirring performance that brings the audience to its feet! http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1312 Enjoy!!! |
