  2. How many times have you listened to the Anthem? How many times do you think you've heard the "standard" rendition? I love Ray Charles. He's one of my all time favorites. But his rendition of the Anthem is about as far away from "standard" as you can get. But, I loved Ray's version.

  4. I agree with her, they should just sing the song and not jazz it up!

  5. What's your definition of singing it straight?
  6. Just sing, don't do all the inflection and fancy shit, just sing it. Its been so long since someone has done it right I can't even give you a decent example because I don't remember one.

  7. That's because I don't think there is a definition/version of singing it straight. I think each artist puts their own "twist" to the lyrics.
  8. How about Jimi Hendrix solo guitar version? What did you think of that - at the time?
  9. Love Jimi but not a fan of what he did there
