If you want to hear a stunning rendition of the National Anthem, listen to this — Smokey Robinson before the 5th game of the 1986 World Series between the Red Sox and the Mets.
(No, rbe, we won't talk about who won.)

Smokey definitely sounds soulful and respectful. A big improvement over Roseanne Barr. Whatever were they thinking inviting her to sing?

Maybe they thought she'd bring them luck. ;-)
That really was a disgraceful performance.
Glad you enjoyed Smokey.
