Happy Fourth of July
Written by admin on July 4, 2010 – 3:51 pm -Happy Fourth of July to all our American readers.
Here’s a trio of great American songs to mark America’s Birthday.
Ray Charles – “America the Beautiful”
The words to America the Beautiful were written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1895. The song didn’t come together as “America the Beautiful” until 1910 when the words were added to music that Samuel A. Ward had written for the hymn “O’ Mother dear, Jerusalem” in 1882.
