Beyonce Knowles delivered a memorable performance at the 2015 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 8 with a rendition of "Take My Hand, Precious Lord". She was introduced to the stage by host LL Cool J and longtime friend Gwyneth Paltrow who shouted, "Here is my beautiful friend, Beyonce!"
Wearing an all white beaded gown, Beyonce closed out the star-studded award event with the companion of an all-male choir, who also wore white outfits. She then began singing the old gospel song, which her mother Tina Knowles used to sing to her as a child. Besides, the song played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and has been used as a soundtrack for "Selma". Her performance, indeed, was dubbed by many as powerful.
After completing her part, Beyonce helped introduce fellow music stars John Legend and Common to sing "Glory" also off the "Selma" soundtrack. The song won the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
