By newsguy | July 3, 2008
Jazz Artist Rene Marie shocked her audience when she sung the words to the ‘Black National Anthem’ to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner.
The singer was in front of the audience at Denver’s State of the City Address. Only her husband and musical adviser knew she would swap in the Black National Anthem.
Many were notably upset, including Denver’s Mayor, John Hickenlooper, “If anyone has got a right to be angry it’s probably me… I guess what I feel most is just deeply disappointed.”
