This old biker had to fight back tears this morning.

I was reading the news this morning
I was reading FR and watching Fox news this morning, getting caught up on the latest news of the attack, my mp3 player was running in random mode. It started playing a mp3 I hadn't heard in awhile and I had to stop what I was doing and fight back tears as I listened to it.
It's Ray Charle's version of America the Beautiful. IMHO the finest recording of that song ever made. I post it here for your enjoyment.

That is a beautiful rendition of that tune. Ray is certainly blessed with a singularly touching voice.
