Great highway driving music.
Until you get pulled over for speeding, which is almost inevitable.
i saw this topic before i drove to work this morning and as i was driving, a half dozen songs came to mind.....Some Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, the Ronnettes, and i could change my mind tommorow..lol
but this particular song is on a self made CD and when i listen i always give it a couple more go arounds...... 2minutes of perfection

When I was coming back home from Australia, this song kept playing over and over in my head. I never get tire of it. I like the version by The Seekers.
My favourite by far is this song. I find it and the story behind it very inspiring. When I am going through a rough patch or dealing with difficult people, I think of the words and play the song for comfort.
"Amazing Grace was written by a former slave trader John Newton.. Once sailing a ship full of slaves from Africa his ship was hit by a fierce storm... Newton feared for his life and got down on his knees and begged the good Lord to spare his life..He promised the Lord that if he would only spare his life he would change his ways and stop trading slaves.. The storm calmed down and Newton wrote the song Amazing Grace, full of sorrow and love and hope that he would be forgiving of his sins. One of the most powerful songs ever written and this is one of the most beautiful versions ever recorded."
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved."
Love those pipes. Here is the Judy Collins version. Even though she is no longer 21 she still has those great pipes.
Wow,
Wow,
and Wow.
Three great versions of a true classic.
And here's one more rendition that I like.

I'm breaking the rule since I couldn't decide between the Steely Dan song and this:
I can never ever ever get sick of this one. I've probably listened to it 500+ times.
Dougie..im not a big fan of MJ.....but this tune is smooth as silk
Happy Birthday, I want to hear that for another 25-30 years.
