Amazing Grace - Condoleezza Rice & Jenny Oaks Baker

[@stevemolokken931]

Ted here. Regardless of how you feel about Condoleeza Rice, her and Jenny Oaks Baker have together created a magnificent, stirring musical tribute to our American heroes.Put aside everything else and enjoy the beauty that they have both created...

[@kristyroutsong9594]

Condoleeze is multi-talented. I'd vote for her if she ran for president.

[@ebaboc]

Condoleezza Rice's mother, Angelena, was a teacher and church organist. Angelena loved opera, and so named her only child after an Italian-language term, con dolcezza. It is used in musical notation and means "to play with sweetness."

[@Pipsterz]

That's lovely. Thank you.

[@genataylor8179]

This is beautiful, as is Ms Rice - physically, spiritually, intellectually and morally. Love that LADY!!

[@343ramana]

She was deeply involved in the decision to go to war in Iraq, which it turns out was based on total lies. Thousands of Americans killed , and wounded visibly and invisibly. Hundreds of thousand of Iraqis dead and injured, and a functioning economy and culture destroyed, to this day. She is a war criminal, by any definition. Ignoring that, or forgetting it, will just lead to more of the same.

[@UhuruFrontier]

Miss. Rice. Man she is really someone special.

[@CatsEyes1717]

Condi, you are talented and beautiful inside and out. You are extremely intelligent and speak eloquently. You have positive morals and stand your ground. I admire you. You are a shining example of what leadership is.

[@michaelcaldwell2491]

THIS is who Dr. (and the last Secretary of State who had any real competence and grace) Condoleeza Rice really is! True to her Presbyterian roots and faith. True to her brilliant artistic self-discipline. True to her humanity in serving her fellow warriors. Thank you Condi! Thank you Jenny Oaks Baker!

[@carldemusz770]

God's Grace is amazing and this is a wonderful rendition of the cherished hymn. Condoleeza and Jenny, you have made my day. Thank you.

[@6210Jack]

How beautiful. Principled people with faith and family values.

[@mistyblue750]

this woman is talented and she amazes me. all the bush haters. he saw this woman's talent and made her known to us. Now Dr. Rice, we are waiting for you to become president. We would be so very blessed...

[@PineRidge1997]

Mrs. Rice, and Mrs. Baker, First, as a Christian Soldier, and secondly as an honorably discharged, and service connected combat veteran, I just wanted you both to know how much your composition of the most revered of Christian melodies has touched my heart. Also, I humbly thank you for doing this for my Comrades everywhere, and the families of those who didn't make it home, and those who did make it home only to remain in daily combat within themselves, and with the system within our own government. May Abba keep and bless each of you. In Christ, Adam

[@carolsonnier]

So beautiful. Thank you for releasing it at a time when so many of us need a reminder of His continued Presence and Grace.

[@a.m.6713]

Beautiful song...Great pairing.....Condoleezza for President! :)

[@calvertdc58]

This was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. Especially showing the war history in the background, the independence we celebrate on the Fourth of July.

[@princered4]

Thanks so much to Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State, for her tribute to our great nation, the United States of America!!

[@msalis1]

Ladies, well done! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Madam Secretary, thank you for your service to America; it was appreciated.

[@OliveNdungutse]

Outstanding and Emotive delivery of this well loved Hymn. Thank You for this treasure Condoleezza Rice and Jenny Oaks Baker. Continued Best Wishes To Both Of You.

[@russmaleartist]

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; twas blind, but now I see.” Oh, that American's could once again see what priceless sovereign and rights they are carelessly and cheaply throwing away -- rights that so many Americans fought for and gave their very lives so we could live in peace, prosperity, and freedom; consequently, because of our blindness, apathy, self-centeredness, immorality, ungodliness, and political correctness, we are on the verge of losing it all -- and for what?

[@henlyman1]

Please, please, Madam Secretary, announce that you will run for President in 2024. You are the only person from either party that I could fully support!

[@Pipsterz]

Condi Rice would make an astounding and impressive first Lady POTUS. She's more than capable.

[@alanpearson655]

I have finally identified the most beautiful arrangement of "Amazing Grace." I will return to this again and again in my life for it's truly inspirational power.

[@bunnywardlaw4561]

OMG - that was absolutely beautiful. From two beautiful women - Rice for President - absolutely!

[@96music1000]

Bunny Wardlaw From all accounts, Nero could play a mean harp.

[@sandspar]

I went to Iraq because I had confidence in Sec. Rice's ability and vision. Why in the Lord's name did we not have her for President instead of one who believes in apparently nothing? " Those with the ability to act have the responsibility to take action " A TRUE PATRIOT, a beautiful human being. Wish you WELL.

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

***** And how did Condoleeza Rice's ability and vision turn out for you in Iraq? And did you believe her and Bush when they said Iraq had something to do with 911? Or perhaps you fell for the lie about WMDs, which of course couldn't be found. If that's ability and vision - I'd hate to see incompetence and duplicity.

[@DoubleGauss]

***** Do not waste your time responding to leftards.

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

***** So the fact that Condalleeza Rice, Bush and Cheney lied to you about the reasons for going into Iraq, and then dropped America into the quagmire doesn't worry you? As for you "getting it" - you haven't got a clue.

[@sandspar]

Name calling categorizes you in the less than 50% intelligence and/or age group, so this is pointless.

[@sandspar]

Mark Bolton TY, Sir.

[@eogg25]

Condoleezza Rice, besides being one of the most intelligent people to work in the White House is also a talented lovely person, inside and outside.

[@TheASTrader]

I wish she would throw her hat in the presidential race. I'm tired of all the goobers on both sides of the aisle. I'd like an intelligent adult to run the show for a while.

[@TheASTrader]

John Lane No, just her foreign policy credentials, her lack of side show attraction persona, her unique ability to articulate intelligently even under pressure (a rarity on the right side of the aisle) and her lack of familial connection to either the Bush or Clinton family.

[@thomascapitalmgt]

John Lane Sir, Dr Rice is a BRILLIANT mind, superb Sec State and NSA. Compare her to Hillary........In a debate Dr Rice would HUMILIATE and CRUSH and PROG, especially Killary

[@BayviewFinch]

TheASTrader She always looks like she has a chip on her shoulder though. Maybe she doesn't. I don't know anything about her. That's just how she comes across, so there must be something like that going on in that mind.

[@punxsutawneybarney]

+TheASTrader What's intelligent about lying under oath on TV?

[@punxsutawneybarney]

TheASTrader No I'm not. Lying under oath on TV when your lie can be easily disproved is really, really, stoooopid.

[@pzign]

How beautiful. I have always admired Condoleezza Rice. She is an incredible, talented, and classy woman. I have also always admired the music of Jenny Oaks Baker. What a beautiful collaboration. Bravo.

[@karenrobinson9178]

I wish she would consider a run for the presidency or at least as a running mate for a decent candidate. She has brilliance, poise, talent and above all she is a Christian with a great love of this country!

[@jlhladyvolsfan]

One of the most graceful, elegant and amazing renditions of "Amazing Grace" that I have EVER heard. This was a victorious performance. Bravo.

[@davidcosdesign6785]

Miss Rice: Brilliant. Mrs Oats Baker: Transcendent. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and reminding us that we all can and will rise above our situation. It just takes some inspiration and guidance. Thank you again.

[@arniewhite1482]

That was a beautiful arrangement. What a fitting tribute to everyone who has worn the uniform and has defended our freedom. Thank you both for both performing so well and for sharing it here! Happy Independence Day to you both!

[@twofawnswolfbandmeti]

Thank you so much for this. We miss you Condoleezza. We really do. Sure wish you would run for office and save our country. YHWH bless you always. See you at The Wedding Feast.

[@coletteyates7609]

This is just beautiful. Just love that they are donating proceeds to the Wounded Warriors Project.

[@mizjeanbean]

Wonderful tribute to those who have put their lives on the line to preserve our liberties! Thank you, Jenny and Condi, for sharing your considerable talents in this moving salute. And what a perfect song--true "freedom" comes as a gift from His "amazing grace."

[@michelleconrad1025]

A gorgeous and thrilling rendition of this amazing hymn by two amazing women...congratulations on touching our hearts!

[@raymondmckinley6411]

I sure would love to spend an hour speaking with Condoleezza. She truly seems to be limitless. Ms. Rice, I got a crush on you :) Jenny Backer, I look forward to learning more about you. This is definitely a song worthy of everyone's permanent collection.

[@lyricman5408]

okay , im crying . a grown man . yep . a shout out from huntsville , alabama condoleeza !!! jenny is awesome as always ! Condoleeza , i had no clue you played !

[@IESPLLC]

Heavenly rendition. Music must be God's language, it touches the soul so intimately.

[@bm2537]

I’m not going to pretend that Condi and I agree on anything. But this is absolutely beautiful. Helps me when I’m stressed and feeling sad. Thanks Sec. Rice!!!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😍😍🤪🤪

[@dutchess4life391]

Beautiful piece. Amazing Grace, its what we need for this Nation today.

[@asevedo1]

Yes we do Dutchess, we need Gods sweet and amazing grace. Condoleezza and Jenny sounded beautiful together.

[@ghislainsimard7591]

Certainement la personnalité politique la plus brillante et intelligente n'ayant jamais mis les pieds à la Maison Blanche. Cette femme devrait être Présidente des USA.

[@maureenmtotland6233]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, spiritual rendition of one of the most beautiful hymns ever written. I loved it and it gave me peace for our beloved Country. I believe God's Children will identify with this beautiful music and it will feed our souls and hearts. Thank you both for your beautiful, exquisite rendition. Happy 4th of July!

[@eribertosalmo1294]

Condolezza Rice would be the best woman to run for presidency of USA.

[@MakaPrimo]

May the grace of God continue to shine on lovers of freedom everywhere!

[@cindywillison8314]

Absolutely beautiful! So glad they are helping with the Wounded Warriors Project.

[@mickvk]

Amazing indeed. Bravo ladies!

[@zurvey]

WOW! That was great! I really admire Condoleeza Rice, and now I have yet another reason to look up to her. Well done!

[@virginiadouglas9449]

Most graciously heavenly...i enjoyed this on God,s precious Holy Sabbath Day thank you ladies👍💐💕🥳

[@NicholasMerrynote]

it it's not mixed, IT'S CALLED INSANELY GREAT WORK !

[@michaelgarrison7830]

I already knew how great she is. This was Icing on the cake!

[@DougWeber411]

Awesome instrumental performance by Ms. Condoleezza Rice and Ms. Jenny Oaks Baker!! What an outstanding tribute for Independence Day weekend. Unfortunately the charity benefiting from the sale of this recording on iTunes is Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP raises hundreds of millions in donations each year through direct mail, paid advertising and other fundraising efforts with a high percentage of overhead and fundraising costs and a low percentage directly assisting our U.S. Military Veterans. I enjoyed the great musical performance and would purchase the recording on iTunes if a different nonprofit serving our Veterans was receiving the proceeds instead of WWP that supports its highly paid executives and consultants!

[@pattywalser2627]

This is beautiful, and I'm glad I have the music of this arrangement!

[@MikeMack]

Love it. Writing in Condoleezza Rice for POTUS.

[@georgiaanderson4185]

Wow! We want more from this dynamic duo!

[@JohnRDallasJr]

For our Fourth of July reflections, this is truly a remarkable confluence of technical and artistic brilliance in musicality; a fitting tribute to myriad worlds graphically represented in under five minutes worth of reverie and hope. As with many build-out/build-up pieces of this type, an extra beat or two of listener patience is expected. The payoff is worth the trust in the obvious formidable effort and considerable expense of a production of this genre. Get ready! Kudos to many artists involved, particularly Secretary Rice and Jenny Oaks Baker. Amazing grace found in a remarkable place. Enjoy your weekend of independence.

[@haileyceledon5030]

Beautifully done! Sometimes I wonder what type of talent these leaders have and if they are better with their talent or what they do best for our country.?

[@edrich1343]

Well done..... Your an inspiration to us all... Your a gifted individual and simply want to thank you for service to our country. Happy 4th of July to you and your family....

[@ElderPayne]

Two very special ladies. Powerful message.

[@abymathew4905]

What a beautiful rendition! Well done Dr.Rice!

[@gwenmangelson]

Absolutely fabulous! I saved it to my favorites. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!

[@richardskola3570]

This here is some awesome American music man...cool stuff.

[@4WingedAngels]

There is a new play on Broadway called "Amazing Grace". It tells the story of how the song came to be, and is beautifully done.

[@djozone]

wow once again music brings people together!

[@isabellaliu8409]

That’s terrific Secretary rice!

[@brigitteashe6317]

I totally believe if she was still Secretary of State things would be totally different. I truly believe!
