Beautifully done, and a message my soul desperately appreciates and needs after these prior days of such profound sadness.

Thank you! I need this song these days, and I hadn’t heard this lovely version.

Thank you, Dan and Team Steady - for your brief history on what is arguably my lifelong favorite song. Thank you also for transitioning off of Spotify.

Here is my favorite version of Amazing Grace from President Obama.

Thank you, Dan Rather.

May we all continue to unite, to keep hope alive, and pray for God and His will and ways to prevail. These are indeed difficult times.

When I was a little girl I heard Mahalia Jackson perform this song. I also love the President Obama historical moment with this wonderful music. Thank you for sharing it and your powerful thoughts. It is so hard not to be depressed, but that will slow us down. Anger has to give us energy now.

Every ‘outrage’ from our politicians about Trump and his Nazi Party is accompanied by a request for money.

People. This country is screwed.

The pleas for money are aggravating for sure. But, we have to keep in mind the tech bros, bit oil and big pharma will pour billions into this election.

Aggravating? Its all I see them doing? What have they actually done? Please

From what I can tell much of funds raised are to support some pretty great new Democratic candidates and some used for legal fees. I do wish the national DNC would release weekly reports on their national activities. That might make us all feel better!

I have always loved the song but would have preferred another performer.

Thank you for this soothing and moving musical connection, Dan and all. We need this kind of hope after the week from hell...let's hope we come out the other side soon.

Remember when. That song brought my then husband and I together again after much division and sorrow. The organization called Retrouvaille worked with failing marriages. They played this song in one of their sessions. It prompted couples to go back and look at what they had. Oh my, this song is special to my heart. As far as our country goes, WE MUST REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE FREEDOMS THAT ARE HOVERING OUT OF OUR REACH NOW. Resist. Fight for Democracy and the honor of the Constitution! We the people cannot be still or silent.
