I was so fortunate to hear Ms. Graves perform this and other spirituals along with various traditional operatic pieces at the Annapolis Opera Company. Hadn't heard this spiritual since I was a little girl at my childhood church, Tabor United Presbyterian Church in Wash, DC. She had the audience interacting and in the palm of her hand. Bless You Ms. Graves & so glad your husband is doing better.
