Kathleen Battle sings "Lord, How Come Me Here" at Carnegie Hall

[@prof.emmanuelekanem8820]

Not just a song, it is a history lesson delivered with a feeling.

[@serious7179]

She perfectly captures the spirit and mood of our ancestors, loaded down with grief and heartache, in this rendition... magnificently heart-breaking...

[@patricebrown777]

Perfectly said 🙏🏽

[@JusQueenn]

Absolutely breathtaking ❤ Been listening for years. Makes me tear up to this day.

[@johngriffin7519]

One of the most wonderfully gifted voices of the 20th century. I try not to listen to this piece/her rendition, because everytime I do, I end up crying. But that said, this rendition is unparalleled. God bless you Kathleen Battle!

[@Broadwaybuff-pi1qg]

I was lucky enough to hear her in recital several times in Toronto and elsewhere, in addition to performing with orchestra. She was absolutely stunning in everything, and often did spirituals, sometimes with no accompaniment, as encores. She kept the audience in spellbound silence with the stunning beauty of that voice and expression.

Nothing wrong crying after hearing this

[@vanessazannis5523]

She was one of the greatest voices at the Metropolitan Opera House! Hearing her sing live was a blessing. When she left the house we all cried! The deception, the backstabbing, the jealousy…the racism Horrible! We love you KB 🙏🏻💕

[@sunjoyrai]

I listen to this piece often and it never fails to give me goosebumps every single time! It's an extraordinary arrangement, Hubert Laws is brilliant and Kathleen Battle wrings every drop of emotion in breathtaking voice.

[@AmirahJoy]

Still sends chills up my spine.

[@debmclaughlin8782]

Wow, she and the choir really brought that song to life as if you’re listening to cries and moans in the slave quarters at the end of the day.
