Arrr! The fair chanteuse Ledisi, a treasure of Grammy’s gold, did belt out "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the anthem of the brave Black crew, in her home port, just afore the grand Super Bowl LIX! Aye, a tune to raise the spirits o' landlubbers and scallywags alike!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather ‘round as I regale ye with the tale of the wondrous Ledisi, a lass of song who be renowned far and wide! She took to the stage at Super Bowl LIX, serenading the crowd with the mighty tune, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the Black national anthem, ‘twas sung beneath the grand Caesars Superdome, where ruckus and revelry ran amok before the clash of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles!This talented siren, hailing from the swamps of New Orleans, be a Grammy-winning songstress, known for her soulful croon that could charm even the fiercest of sea serpents! Aye, during her performance, the crowd surely held their grog close, awaitin' the high-stakes battle to commence. But nay, not all hearts were merry, for some landlubbers grumbled about the anthem’s presence, lettin' loose their displeasure on the treacherous waters of social media!
And let us not forget our fine companions, Jon Batiste and Lauren Daigle, who filled the air with "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful," respectively. Since the NFL embraced the Black national anthem in the wake of troubling tides in 2020, it’s been a topic of fierce debate. But alas, the NAACP first dubbed the anthem as such in 1917, long before the pirates of today roamed the seas. So, raise yer tankards high and celebrate the power of song, ye scallywags!
