Queen Latifah’s Jazzy Anthem

Chimesfreedom previously examined some of the famous versions of “The Star Spangled Banner” performed at sporting events, and it looks like there is another interesting version to add. Last night at the NFL season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, Queen Latifah took a jazzy take on the National Anthem, somewhat reminiscent of the famous Marvin Gaye version. Many are divided on whether or not they like it, but I do like it.

Check it out for yourself.
