Judy Collins’ iconic rendition of “Amazing Grace” was released on 1970’s Whales & Nightingales, an album that turns 50 in August. But Collins initially performed the hymn many years before that, during the Mississippi Summer Project in 1964 and at the height of the Vietnam War.
Now, the legendary singer has decided to rerelease the song, backed by a choir of singers across the globe. Listeners can also join the Global Virtual Choir to sing the song with Collins. All proceeds from the single will be donated to the World Health Organization Solidarity Response Fund.
