When you and your mom have the exact same taste in clothes but she still tries to say it’s "inappropriate" for her... 👀👗
Like mother, like daughter. Who wore it better?
Beyoncé performing “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” at the 57th Grammy Awards
It was one of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s favorite songs, performed by Mahalia Jackson at his funeral because he had requested that it be played at his Memphis rally the night before his assassination.
Thomas Andrew Dorsey, known as the “Father of Black Gospel Music,” lost his wife, Nettie Harper, and their newborn son, Thomas Dorsey Jr., in childbirth, burying them in the same casket. Grief-stricken and questioning his faith, he vowed to never sing again. But through prayer and support from his friends, he wrote the song about reaching for the Lord, even when sorrowful.
Beyoncé recalled the first time she heard “Precious Lord” as a child, “My mother sang it to me and my mother played me Mahalia Jackson’s version. She sang the song with her eyes closed. She was a vessel, it was like God speaking, using her body to speak and to heal. My grandparents marched with Dr. King. And my father was part of the first generation of black men that attended an all-white school. My father has grown up with a lot of trauma from those experiences. I feel like now I can sing for his pain, I can sing for my grandparents’ pain. I can sing for the families that have lost their sons.”
