She certainly knows how to put on a killer show, but rather than flashy props and skimpy outfits, Beyonc� Knowles let her priceless pipes do the talking last night (February 8) at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
The ?Crazy in Love? singer brought out a group of handsome backup singers to join her in cranking out a moving rendition of ?Take My Hand, Precious Lord,? leaving many audience members with tears in their eyes.
Knowles explained, "I wanted to find real men that have lived, have struggled, cried and have a light and a spirit about them. I felt like this is be an opportunity to show the strength and vulnerability in black men. My grandparents marched with Dr. King, and my father was part of the first generation of black men that attended an all-white school. My father has grown up with a lot of trauma from those experiences. I feel like now I can sing for his pain, I can sing for my grandparents' pain. I can sing for some of the families that have lost their sons."
