Who Originaly Sang AMAZING GRACE???
Judy Collins’ 1970 version spent 67 weeks on the UK chart, which is longer than any other single by a female artist. She recorded it at St Paul’s Chapel, Colombia University. Collin’s version was re-released in the UK in 1971 and again in 1972, and it charted again both times. In 1972, The Pipes And Drums And Military Band Of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards released their version, which went to #1 and was the biggest-selling single on 1972 in the UK. Joan Baez sang this to open the Philadelphia stage of Live Aid in 1985. There were over 100,000 people in the crowd, and most of them sang it with her. Arlo Guthrie performed this at Woodstock in 1969.
