Amazing grace is one of the most well-known songs in America. Though it's primarily sung in churches, this song transcends religion. You don't have to be a Christian for this song to be meaningful to you. Written in 1776, and still popular today, this song will outlast all of us!
In the video below, we hear Il Divo, a musical quartet remake this classic. The group has made many cover songs for artists such as Celine Dion, Dolly Partin, Elton John, Elvis Presley, and many more! They have a very impressive musical track record.
The men that make up the quartet are all from different backgrounds. Making the ups sound more appealing to the masses. The multi-national vocal group was originally created in 2003. Since then, the group has released ten albums, with over 30 million copies sold worldwide.
In 2005, The musical crossover group became the first of its kind to reach the Top 200 Billboard in the USA. The group began with the help from the famous, Simon Cowell, best know for judging talent contests on television.

Others agree that this cover is amazing by saying, "After listening to your version of Amazing Grace, I don't listen to any other. The blend of their different voices is amazing!"
