fun fact she actually grew up with the black church! and if im not mistaken i think she used to do choirs too

Why does everything have to be about race. Just appreciate her god given blessing.

[@katelinbyrd]

⁠@@smallfeet1345she grew up in the delta region of arkansas….she just happened to be around a lot of black people and picked up that style of gospel singing and she’s phenomenal at it. it’s not “making it about race” that’s just the truth. nothing wrong with acknowledging the source from which it came

I'll be honest, I came across this video from watching a video by Day Time Tea... I've never even heard of this women before today. I was interested in who she was so I click on this video. The first note she hit, literally brought TEARS to my eyes. Her voice is that of an angel, it's strong, beautiful and very authentic. I'm grateful to have come across this video and hearing this voice.

[@lisaj2269]

The beauty of the original performance of this song is timeless and unparalleled. It’s so clean and perfect and genuine and without distracting embellishment. Especially the live performances. Simon and Garfunkel have so much to be proud of.

[@NinaBaby210]

“Distracting embellishments?” Do tell🧐 “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” As it is said. I can accept your preference. However it is diminished by your less than subtle insult. Much like wavy an AIDS-flag at a Cancer benefit.😒
