A 2006 movie, "Amazing Grace" starring Ioan Gruffudd, was about the life of 18th Century anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce. Albert Finney played Newton, a friend of Wilberforce.

Their version of "Amazing Grace" is so short but sweet it got me to thinking what other versions of this song do not suck. Even if you never listen to gospel music, it's OK if you're sick to death ...

With its simple melody and message of salvation, “Amazing Grace” is a global music sensation. As music lingo would describe it, the song is No. 1 with a bullet.
