Melvin Lee Greenwood (born October 27, 1942) is an American country music artist. Active since 1962, he has released more than twenty major-label albums and has charted more than 35 singles on the Billboard country music charts.
Greenwood was born in Los Angeles, California. After the separation of his parents, he grew up near Sacramento on the poultry farm of his maternal grandparents. At the age of seven, he started singing in church. In 1969, he joined the Chester Smith Band and had his first television appearance. A short time later, he worked with the country musician Del Reeves.
Bates originally wrote the words as a poem, "Pikes Peak", first published in the Fourth of July edition of the church periodical The Congregationalist in 1895. At that time, the poem was titled "America" for publication.
Ward had originally written the music, "Materna", for the hymn "O Mother dear, Jerusalem" in 1882, though it was not first published until 1892. Ward's music combined with the Bates poem was first published in 1910 and titled America the Beautiful.
The song is one of the most popular of the many American patriotic songs.
History
In 1893, at the age of 33, Bates, an English professor at Wellesley College, had taken a train trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to teach a short summer school session at Colorado College. Several of the sights on her trip inspired her, and they found their way into her poem, including the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the "White City" with its promise of the future contained within its alabaster buildings; the wheat fields of America's heartland Kansas, through which her train was riding on July 16; and the majestic view of the Great Plains from high atop Zebulon's Pikes Peak.
America the Beautiful is a 2007 American documentary film directed by Darryl Roberts about self-image in the United States. The film had a limited release on August 1, 2008.
America the Beautiful was a circle-vision movie attraction in Disneyland In California and Walt Disney World in Florida. The footage first shot in 1955 and ran in Disney Circle-Vision 360 film theaters.
Circle-Vision 360 is a film technique that uses multiple cameras arranged in a circle. The viewing image is displayed on a large circular screen. The film's rendition of the title song would later be used in Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
"America the Beautiful" by Lee Greenwood. Picture courtesy of Google search. Incredible music mixed with very unique pictures of our country. This video is a reminder of all those who sacrificed their lives to build this nation. Let it be said that the greater tragedy than the loss of so many would be that their sacrifice would lie in vain. May we continue to honor them by aspiring to the same inspirations to which they heeded. They sought for the strength of great leadership, acknowledgement of a higher deity and desired unity, from the writing of our very constitution to the battles fought and won on the battlefields.
I pray for all that no matter who we are or what we believe or what we dream to become, that everyone deserves to be happy and free! We need a place of refuge, we ask for l...
PLEASE be respectful of each other, even if you're not from this great Country!!
Thanks, and enjoy the video!

This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the gulf stream water This land was made for you and me As I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me a voice was chanting This land was made for you and me (chorus) This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood forest to the gulf stream water This land was made for you and me (chorus)
