GISELE MacKENZIE: God Bless America - 2001 performance descargar videos gratis

This stunning and moving performance of "God Bless America" is by TV legend Gisele MacKenzie, who was appearing at this event not long after the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. and only a few hundred miles from ground zero. Gisele moved to the US from her native Canada 50 years before this performance. Already known as Canada's First Lady of Song while just out of her teens, Gisele quickly became a major star in the US with regular TV spots with Jack Benny, Your Hit Parade, Sid Caesar, The Gisele MacKenzie Show, etc. She was also a major night club, concert and theater star, who loved her work. Gisele didn't sing patriotic songs like this often, but had sung "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a world series playoff game for Gene Autry's L.A. Angels, introduced "Let There Be Peace on Earth" on her TV series, and sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee" from time to time. This stunning late-career performance was done not long after 9/11/2001. Unknown to her public, Miss MacKenzie had been battling cancer, but continued to perform. It would only be a matter of two years before the lovely Gisele lost her battle to this dreadful diease. She was a trooper and is one glorius angel.
