I noted in my earlier post gushing over my favorite Grammys performances that while I loved Beyonce's ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’, some thought Ledisi should've done it. Now Beyoncé has posted an incredible behind-the-scenes video of her preparation for the Grammys performance. In the BTS video, Beyonce explains why she asked to sing the song during the show’s ‘Selma’ tribute.
“My grandparents marched with Dr. King. My grandfather was a part of the first generation that attended the all-white school. My father has grown up with a alot 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 some of the families that have lost their sons.”
