On the July 4 weekend, here's the classic, the one that no one forgets.  It has everything, but mostly just soaring vocal talent projecting the magnificence of the song and the country.

RIP Ms. Houston.

Yes, her rendition is very good. But, actually, I prefer this one. Not a lot of extra notes.

Hey, thanks @Sushismom --  I'd never seen the Huey Lewis version!   Amazing job of close harmony and crisp, potent solo work.  Nice! 

[Sushismom]

You're welcome!

I prefer when the military sings it.

They don't butcher it with so many extra notes that it's practically unrecognizable.

Neither did Huey.

@Oznell   Thank you - I had forgotten just how powerful she was.  We saw her in concert in the 80's.

She sang the anthem correctly, too.

@Sushismom   Huey is cute and had some nice tunes in the day but he and his group made the same mistake singing our anthem as others do.

Whitney did it right.

@Cakers3 

I'm missing what Huey did wrong.
