"Amazing Grace" is a Christianhymn published in 1779, with words written by the English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807).
Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction, but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed (conscripted) into service in the Royal Navy, and after leaving the service, he became involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In 1748, a violent storm battered his vessel off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland, so severely that he called out to God for mercy, a moment that marked his spiritual conversion. He continued his slave trading career until 1754 or 1755, when he ended his seafaring altogether and began studying Christian theology.
Ordained in the Church of England in 1764, Newton became curate of Olney, Buckinghamshire, where he began to write hymns with poet William Cowper. "Amazing Grace" was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year's Day of 1773. It is unknown if there was any music accompanying the verses; it may have simply been chanted by the congregation. It debuted in print in 1779 in Newton and Cowper's Olney Hymns but settled into relative obscurity in England. In the United States, however, "Amazing Grace" was used extensively during the Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century. It has been associated with more than 20 melodies, but in 1835 it was joined to a tune named "New Britain" to which it is most frequently sung today.
Amazing Grace is a 1974 comedy film featuring comedian Moms Mabley, playing the title role of Grace Teasdale Grimes. Grace is a widow who influences the local mayoral election in Baltimore, Maryland after she discovers her somewhat slow-witted neighbor is being used to run for mayor by shady politicians and the incumbent mayor to further his own self-serving reelection efforts.
Grace knows the politicians have no interest in the betterment of the neighborhood and are only interested in getting their hands on the money that comes into it. She organizes some of the people in the community and together they devise a plan to thwart the crooked politician’s schemes.
Mabley appeared in the film a year before her death at the age of 81. The film also featured cameo appearances by veteran actors Butterfly McQueen and Stepin Fetchit.
The film's title is a play on words based on the name of the Christian hymn "Amazing Grace".
It is available on DVD from MGM, and on Blu-Ray from Olive Films.
Amazing Grace: Music Inspired By the Motion Picture is a soundtrack for the movie Amazing Grace starring Ioan Gruffudd. The album features new versions of old hymns recorded by some of Christian music's more prominent artists as well as one of the most popular country artists around today.
This is by far one of the best versions of this Hymn I have ever heard. It so tells my life story. Put on headphones or find a quiet place where you can sit back and be touched by this most beautiful version of Amazing Grace. Judy Collins does a fantastic job. Note: I know there is a misspelling in the video ("shares" instead of "snares"). It was an honest keystroke mistake when I created the video ten years ago. Unfortunately, I can't correct it. If I upload a new video with the correct spelling, I will lose my number one ranking.

Klassik. Bei diesem Wort wird der gemeine Rock- und Popkonsument des öfteren die Hände vor das Gesicht schlagen und sich desinteressiert abwenden. André Rieu ist jedoch einer, der es sich auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat, die klassische Musik dem "Normalbürger" näher zu bringen. Wenn Rieu mit seinem Orchester auf der Bühne steht und das ausverkaufte Auditorium lauscht, so können die Besucher sicher sein, einen unvergesslichen Abend zu erleben. Sein Credo ist es, mit den Besuchern seiner Konzerte zu kommunizieren. Es gefällt ihm, das etwas angestaubte Image der Klassik um eine volksnahe Facette zu bereichern. Kleine Späßchen erhalten die Freundschaft und so klamaukt sich Rieu und mit ihm das Orchester durchs Programm, das Langeweile von vorneherein nicht aufkommen kann.Rieu ist gebürtiger Niederländer, stammt aus einer Musikerfamilie und wuchs mit Opern, Sinfonien und Kammermusik auf. Sein Vater war bereits Chef der Leipziger Oper, seine Geschwister sind ebenfalls herausragende Musiker, so lag es nahe, dass auch André sich der klassischen Musik verschrieb. Sein Instrument ist die Geige und ihr Spiel studierte er in den Niederlanden bei Herman Krebbers, wo er im Jahr 1977 die Abschlussprüfung mit Auszeichnung bestand. Zu seiner Studienzeit entdeckte er auch seine Liebe zum Dreivierteltakt, als er einmal gebeten wurde, in einem Salonensemble mitzuspielen. Das war die Initialzündung für die Karriere des André Rieu, denn von diesem Zeitpunkt an vertiefte er sich in die Werke von Johann Strauß und Franz Léhar. Dabei fand er heraus, dass sich die Musik dieser Komponisten durch eine extreme Volksnähe auszeichnete. Walzer wurden dort gespielt, wo die Party abging, bei Bällen und in Festsälen, und bei diesen Happenings war es ganz selbstverständlich, dass das Publikum mitklatschte und sich der Musik und des Lebens erfreute. Genau diese Lebensfreude wollte Rieu der Klassik zurück geben und traf damit den Geschmack des Publikums zu hundert Prozent.Sein Orchester tauft er - als Tribut an den großen Meister des Dreivierteltaktes - Johann Strauß Orchester und mit diesem geht er immer wieder auf Tour, um den Klassik-Rave abzufeiern. Mit der Platte "Strauß & Co." landet er 1995 einen Knaller, den so wohl kaum jemand erwartet hatte. Die Scheibe steigt bis in die Top fünf der deutschen Verkaufscharts, hält sich monatelang in den Bestenlisten, landet in der Jahresendabrechnung auf einem erstaunlichen 18. Platz und hat schon längst die Platinmarke von (damals) 500.000 verkauften Scheiben überschritten.Das ist aber erst der Anfang. Jede seiner Platten gerät zum Top-Seller und seine Konzerte zum Happening. Der Maestro ist sehr produktiv und findet zwischen seinen Konzertreisen immer wieder Zeit, die stetig größer werdende Fanschar mit neuen Outputs zu verwöhnen. Diese danken es ihm und stürmen die Ticketbuden, bis kein einziges Billet mehr vorrätig ist.Sein Erscheinungsbild tut das übrige, um die Erfolgsstory abzurunden. Sein gewinnendes Lächeln und die langen, wehenden Haare sind der Schwiegermutter Traum. Aber nicht nur Schwiegermütter stehen auf ihn, denn mit dieser Spezies allein bekommt man nicht die Berliner Waldbühne voll. Von jenem Konzert veröffentlicht Rieu rechtzeitig zum Muttertag 2001 eine prallgefüllte DVD mit Konzertaufnahmen und jeder Menge Extras. Wer also in Zukunft noch Geschenke für Mami, Papi, Oma und Opa sucht, zugreifen!2001 La Vie Est Belle (DVD)2000 La Vie Est Belle1999 Das Jahrtausendfest1998 Romantic Moments1997 Mein Weihnachtstraum1996 In Concert1996 Wiener Melange1995 Strauß & Co.
