This
is a piece of history!
Hall Johnson, the son and
grandson of slaves, came
to national prominence in
Hollywood with the Hall
Johnson Choir
performing/singing in
feature films including
The Green Pastures
(1936), Dimples (1936),
Meet John Doe (1941), and
Walt Disney's Song of the
South (1946). George
Lynn, director of the
Westminster Choir
College, commissioned
Johnson's arrangement of
“Star Spangled
Banner” for publication
during the Civil Rights
Era, and this is that
original passionate
arrangement, originally
sung by the Hall Johnson
Choir.
