#154 Aretha Franklin, 'Amazing Grace' (1972)

This list is full of twists and turns. I didn’t expect to be listening to an hour and a half of Gospel music, but here we are. ‘Amazing Grace’ was recorded live in January 1972 at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, with Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir performing alongside Aretha Franklin. Franklin’s voice will convert even the staunchest heathen into a believer.
