Ray Charles gives us great inspiration for our music. When the “older” Ray Charles sang “America The Beautiful” at a full-to-capacity baseball stadium 9-11 Memorial, his unique rendition went worldwide, right where that song in that amazing baritone had stayed lodged in our American Hearts his entire career.
The Singer Guy ANDY RAWN “came across” his idea to arrange AMERICA in partnership with HOME ON THE RANGE completely by accident, on leaving a Los Angeles concert he had just performed with both patriotic songs in the same program: “Hey, these two old tunes and a lot of these two lyrics fit together!”
Andy and his Swiss wife started a search for the perfect “cool” outdoor locale to shoot the “New Double Song” (it had to “look like America The Beautiful”) and they found it walking through the Pacific Palisades quiet and wonderfully green Los Liones Canyon. Then came rehearsals with a marvelous & sophisticated black contemporary dancer QUINTON WINSTON.
