I always liked that version. John Williams did a new arrangement that will be premiered tonight (Whatever special is on PBS I think at 9EST-- Capitol Fourth, perhaps?). It will have choir, orchestra, trumpets, and cannon. But it is JOHN FREAKIN WILLIAMS, how can it not be awesome?
Anyhow, just throwing it out there if anyone wants to watch. Or look for it on the interwebs tomorrow.
ETA: I guess it was 8EST, but the show is scheduled to restart at 930EST...

I'm not sure I'm crazy about the vocal arrangement...but I sure wish I could've heard more of the instruments because from what I heard, I really liked that.
The DSO recently had John Williams AND Steven Spielberg do a fundraiser for them...over $1,000,000 raised. (the DSO is very near/dear to my heart...I watch many webcasts...they didn't have a webcast for the John Williams Steven Spielberg event...but I would've PAID to see that.

We watched and loved it! DH said "now that's how the song SHOULD be sung!" Beautiful arrangement, instrumentally and vocally!

I love, love, love Whitney's version. What a gorgeous voice she had and what a waste that drugs overtook her.

One of my favorite versions too, so sad to have lost her too early.

I just wanted to see if I could figure out how to insert a video into a post. I saw a post a few days ago where someone had done it and wanted to try myself.
