One of my Favorites Opera singer, miss Jessye Norman. BEAUTIFUL....ANGELS of God....WOW!!!!
-
@harpguy18 Swing Low Sweet Chariot is also a little different. Maybe they recorded the dress rehearsal for insurance.
-
@pnyc1969 You know it wasn't a competition? They do have varying vocals and that's what the producers were looking for. Ms Battle excelled when she needed to and Ms Norman did the same. They compliment each other.

@Cleveland1040 It's called 'Scandalize My Name'
-
Jessye really outsings Kathleen here. It's sort of the opera equivalent of Diana Ross-Patti Labelle mic toss. But it's great concert. I've enjoyed it for years, esp. Jesse's "Deep River" and "Give Me Jesus" and Kathleen's "Swing Low" and "Witness".

@Cleveland1040 That song is called "Scandalize My Name"
-
Actually, thinking about it for a sec it was more like "So you say you're a sister", and each verse was different. OOh, it was great! I wish I could find it again!
-
Does anyone remember that Norman/Battle duet where they were going "you think you're a sister?" It was some old southern folksy tune, and it was great, but I can't find it now!
