[zebras06]

words cant describe how much this song makes me miss my dead gpa. most beautiful song ever. thank you

[Sugarbehr1967]

Absolute perfection..if this song doesn't stir your soul..nothing shall..

[RandomDINOSAURAWR]

Yes, IT IS A TRUE STORY.

PLEASE see the film called 'AMAZING GRACE'~Based on the true story of William Wilberforce, this film follows his courageous quest to end the British slave trade. Along the way Wilberforce meets opposition from members of Parliament, but his minister John Newton, a reformed slave ship captian who penned the beloved hymn "Amazing Grace", urges him to see the cause through.

An incredible movie .

[nashtndawg]

@swl3 according to wiki....John Henry Newton (July 24, 1725 – December 21, 1807) was an English sailor and Anglican clergyman. Starting his career on the sea at a young age, he became involved with the slave trade for a few years. After experiencing a religious conversion, he became a minister, hymn-writer, and later a prominent supporter of the abolition of slavery. He was the author of many hymns, including "Amazing Grace" and "Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken."

[SFtruckerWolf]

Words of Amazing Grace are on my truck´s inside wall. There I see them every evening and can myself sing this song, what I love so much. Thank you God, that you saved me.

[MrMickmonk]

Hello @ flipmcflop2 I can understand your point BUT its not God that causes the slave trade... BUT MAN for he has free will , and man alone causes misery in this life in all aspects .. NOT God

[Precious4059]

Hallelujah,Praise God!!!!!!!!.

[Audreyyyy4]

I first heard this in 1972 at my buddy Jim Dols place, it cut through my soul then and still does 40 years later... my good Lord where did the time go.... by far and away Judy does the closest to perfect version I have ever heard.... I beleive Angels take lessons from this track.

[calmthoughts]

pure genius,quality moving and emotional

[JRawe2]

@waynetaylor2969 that 1 person is a liar.

[chezzybabe1971]

I just heard this version on the radio...AMAZING...it made me cry!

[redman217]

beautiful

[JRawe2]

I think this is the only video I have seen that has no "Dislikes". No one could dislike this song.

[WayneTaylor2969]

@JRawe2 some sad person has had to put 1. Sad Sad Sad.

[donna1473]

This is one of the most beautyfulest songs and one of the best singers I have ever heard! Love It!!! I wish I could sing like that! <3

[66Cazmac]

Judy Collins is amazzzzing at this song! Remember it when i was only 10 years old. Wow, eat your heart out Elvis...who is the next best at it :)

[mike4asianwoman]

I can only say i fucking love her.

[JimmyMd301]

This song was played at my Mom's funeral, 1998. But oddly before her death Which was Unexpected She listened to it that morning.

[gillwilkinsongw]

Probably the best song you'll ever hear, with the best singer of this song, such feeling. Elvis's favourite song, and played at his funeral. Excellent video, such beautiful pictures and wonderfully put together. Well done, made my day. Lovely field of cosmos flowers at the end.

[NoNameBuh]

I've just heard a LOT of amazing grace versions and THAT is the most amazing I've ever heard....

better than every other... just unique!

[thespeez]

@NoNameBuh - Few singers can sing this the way Judy does here! This is probably one of the best renditions of this song ever!

[Stemax1960]

@thespeez Hear Hear.

[flipmcflop2]

@MrMickmonk I am sorry.. but if god was real there would never have been slaves...

[GodLovesUs100]

@MrMickmonk John Newton wrote this hymn.And yes, he was a once mean slave trader turned into a gentle, broken regenerated Christian who was a great influence in the abolition of slavery in his area :) God bless you!

[swl3]

Actually, it's Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807), and published in 1779.

[swl3]

Actually, it's Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807), and published in 1779. he wasn't a slave trader, but a curate in an English church.

[WickedLady2010]

@MrMickmonk just finished watching the movie today



[ROUGEBLOCK]

@MrMickmonk The true story is already in the description and in much better detail. Next time press the arrow.

[solidheir]

@MrMickmonk Thats true, but the fact it represents the abolishment of slavery, surely that is more powerful than just celebrating a mysterious act of god? Great depth of humanity and genuine compassion is what god would channel if he existed, But really, what about the hundreds of other slave ships that were destroyed and sunk out at sea for decades prior to this? why would God just choose a few to save?

[jozetsuki52]

God bless you! Perfect voice! How beautiful indeed.

[ministerioiktus]

The Most "AMAZING" version of this Song by Anyone IMO...

There's just something not only in Judy's voice but also with the tempo that she sings the Song that gives you such a peaceful good feeling all over...

It's like you've all of sudden come in touch with the entire Universe around you...

Hugs

Bob&Robby

[mepmug01]

Many thanks for sharing. This song allways brings me back and close to the beloved ones, that are not beside or around me anymore.........

May these beloved ones and the beloved ones of you all be blessed.

Mannes.

[andy19720906]

Best version ever!

[sKaterFan60]

An "crackerms0100":

Ja, 38. Vor 38 Jahren habe ich das Lied erstmals gehört, auf einer LP, als 12j. Junge.

Hast Du es auf 1 CD oder kannst es mir z.B. per Email senden?

Danke.

[sKaterFan60]

Auf wunderschöne Weise gewaltig!:

Es geht mir 38 Jahren jedes Mal unter die Haut!

[SuperAnne47]

this is the most moving version i have heard and can remember when Judy Collins released it the video is fantastic well done whoever made it great concept of the song thank you from my heart

[jhildbold]

This is the most beautiful song ever written and sung by the best person ever. John Newton would be so happy to know his song has lastest through the decades and known all over the world.

[lingh89]

yes I have heard a lot of versions of this song and when I hear this one I just think this could never be done more beautifully

[SiegfriedBLN]

mieschki65. dieser song ist immer wieder schon!

würde sich bestimmt toll anhören wenn sie von michael hirte mit seiner mundharmonika begleitet werden würde, er spielt es sehr gefühlvoll, mit leib und seele. man spürt es einfach, hast ihn schonmal gehört ?

lg siegfried

[grain270]

Every time i hear this it reduces a 42yr old man to tears due to a friend that meant so mutch to me who loved all animalls and was sutch a warm affectionate person who died last year due due to cancer.

[joey844]

hi my fish is dead :-(

[amitava55]

@jennel802009, I fail to understand why people like you are so rare these days! Your spirit matches the song! Your words are also amazing grace to me! Here is the statement of @jennel802009, "Amazing Grace is the prettiest song ever written. It is so amazing how much nations fight one another, but when this song plays, it seems to make us all as humans more humble. This song just spells UNITY for the whole world. God Bless." The song and the statements speak the same language!

[jennel802009]

@amitava55

Thank you. God Bless You.

[SiegfriedBLN]

SUPER ! bekomme kleine diamanten in den augen (glückstränen),

lg siegfried

[DrOggy67]

There is only one word for it... GODLIKE !!!

[jennel802009]

Amazing Grace is the prettiest song ever written. It is so amazing how much nations fight one another, but when this song plays, it seems to make us all as humans more humble. This song just spells UNITY for the whole world. God Bless.

[spazman1932]

very nice job, thank you

[jawaha75243]

YES!

[Yummychin]

They deleted the previous video of this version. I was shocked. They deleted the best version of them all.

But it's back. And I'm still loving it. Will always love it. Judy Collins, you are truly talented. ♥

[crackerms0100]

@Yummychin You mean the one that had "1970 RARE!!!" in the title?

[Yummychin]

@crackerms0100 Yes, that one. Why? :D

[Yummychin]

@crackerms0100 I know, that's why I said I'm glad it's back.

Once I've listened to a song I can't get used to other versions you see. :)

[crackerms0100]

@Yummychin Hey again, I am listening to this version more than ever the last few days. It helps me deal with my mourning, a lot.

[Yummychin]

@crackerms0100 I'm happy for you it helps you ease the mourning. I also know what it feels like to lose a loved one, and though in my case Amazing Grace wasn't played, it still gives me a soothing feeling whenever I listen to it. :)

[dmkwils]

@crackerms0100 Sorry to hear about your loss. May God be with you in your time of mourning.

[jennel802009]

@crackerms0100

You know a good way that I have learned to mourn. I become envy of the person who has passed on, because that means that they will meet Jesus before me. Just think of it that way, it is really comforting.

[GodLovesUs100]

My grandma loves this song..I do too.

Lord, thank you for saving a wretch like me..the King of the Universe has a plan for me,Hallelujah..Praise God for his grace VV

[calmthoughts]

this is the best version in my opinion

[faroutlindsey]

MY FAVORITE VERSION OUT OF???

[IvanKolosnik]

Very lovely.

Thanks!!

[1504trevor]

I would love to know who was responsible for arranging the harmonies on this recording. Certainly a master of his/her craft.

[LongLiveStopMotion2]

I'm not religious, but this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[chemonurs]

Ganz Fantastisch!!!!

[JubalCalif]

Wunderbar! One of the most beautiful & moving recordings ever made! Never fails to lift my spirits & make my heart soar like an eagle. THANK YOU for posting it for us to enjoy! :)

[JubalCalif]

@crackerms0100

No, actually I meant Wonder Bra!

Though in Germany, they call it the "Stopenzeefloppin".

:)

[johnmik67]

This was my dad's favourite song! He would ask me to play this over and over again. 14 years have passed since you died dad! Miss you!

[ganimed1976]

What a beautyful song.....the whole thing was sung complete acapella, but it seems that there is a huge orchestra playing in the background....but actually there are only melodic voices who make that lovely tune. That is realy awesome.

[marcusaureliuspilot]

@ganimed1976.. Excellent song description by ganimed 1976. For those who do not understand the meaning of "acapella" it's latin for "at chapel."

In a chapel the choir sang hymms without instrumental accompanyment .Cost prohibited a small chapel from having musical instruments, as apposed to a large cathedral where a pipe organ or other instruments had been installed to enhanse the hymms. I would be quick to agree with ganimed that Judy's acapella version is heavenly and cannot be improved.

[sKaterFan60]

One of the greatest songs I know...  the sound is creeping under my skin and takes my soul into heaven; Thanlk you sooooooooo much Judy Collins, thanks!

[marcuslager]

my fav



[michaeldj5]

This version of Amazing Grace is the most beautiful I have EVER heard. Listen to this when you have a minute and you're by yourself and won't be disturbed...man o man o man...takes me back to the days when I myself used to wait on the Lord's Table and lead singing when I was a young preacher's son in the Church of Christ...so long ago......and I still believe in every word it conveys...

[JubalCalif]

@michaeldj5

Well said, Michael! I enjoyed very much reading your moving comment. I've attended Church of Christ services...beautiful in their simplicity. I consider this song the most beautiful ever written...and Ms Collins' version the loveliest I've ever heard. THANK YOU for your heartwarming words! :-)

[Zedisch]

@michaeldj5 I just can agree. nothing more else to say. A wonderful voice, a wonderful woman. A good video

[reggietooie]
