The direct opposite reaction yet none the less just as touching.

Wow 22 years ago. Don't remember much about the game but will remember the song forever.

I remember Vicki Sue Robinson getting lustily booed at Madison Square Garden before a Ranger game in 1975. Guess the crowd didn't care too much for her "Turn the Beat Around" version of our National Anthem.

Marvin Gaye 1983 NBA All Star.
Great rendition. He turned the national anthem into a song of his own.

Best one is Whitney Houston:

Loved Whitney's version, but love all her songs...Miss her..

One of my all time versions is this one by Linda Ronstadt..

That's my favorite, too. Gives me goosebumps.

My close second is Arturo Sandoval's. If you ever played trumpet you'll understand.
