skylive5 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Can't remember if I ever asked this before..... I know I was planning to. Who all here has an opinion (like every Huddler doesn't have an opinion :oldrolleyes: ) on what they consider a traditional classic? My list has these to start off with: Ray Charles - America the Beautiful Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner Herbie Mann - Battle Hymn of the Republic Edited June 11, 2007 by skylive5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner Marvin Gaye's rendition from the 198(3?) NBA All-Star game is quite awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Marvin Gaye's rendition from the 198(3?) NBA All-Star game is quite awesome. As was Jose Feliciano's rendition at a Super Bowl....but IMHO Hendrix's is an absolute classic while theirs were just great renditions.

Savage Beatings Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I see sky that yours are exclusively patriotic in nature... was that conscious on your part? Couple just off the top of my head (obviously a different generation )... CCR - Long as I Can See the Light (reminds me of both God and my wife) Stevie Wonder - You Are the Sunshine of my Life (reminds me of my son) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are all kinds of "classics" out there by any number of people. Layla by Clapton being one of that type. But not talking your run of the mill classics. LOL I think that Amazing Grace by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is another classic of a traditional song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link? ...I love the traditional church hymn version of the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony (a.k.a.: Ode to Joy)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of that one, but a very special arrangement done by the Blind Boys of Alabama. It's sung to the music of House of the Rising Sun. Very special.

The Holy Roller Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Not a big fan of Hendrix's National Anthem after it was use by North Vietnam's radio for American armed forces to hear in South Vietnam. I appreciate the music but it was used as a slap in America's face at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Amazing Grace- Aretha, Elvis Not sure if this fits: Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and Unforgettable by Nat King Cole are two of my favorite all-time songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
