She was unique and had such an "honest" voice

One of the most heart-touching moments I remember, was of Kate Smith being wheeled out in a wheelchair, partially paralyzed, to receive from another great man, President Ronald Reagan, who was presenting her with "The Presidential Medal of Honor," (or "The Presidential Medal of Freedom"--I don't remember which). They worked together in the movie that Kate introduced "God Bless America. Can anyone reading this PLEASE UPLOAD the moment Kate was wheeled out? Tears really flowed.

I grew up watching her on television and she has remained my favorite singer of all time.

Thanks for the memories.

What a voice ! There is no one today that can compare. Her last public singing appearance, that I recall, was in 1976 during the bicentenial, when she sang God Bless America at the age of 69. Her voice was as strong and true as ever. She lived another 10 years in declining health. She is now in heaven singing with the angels.
