Gladys Knight to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl

[marv2]

They've skipped two verses in the song for a good reason though...

I think the point was, folks don't think this is their anthem so they'll give anyone a side eye who claims it is. Hence the Gladys issue.

I don't know what the two verses are. I do know that we sang it in school. We also said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning.

Apparently one of the verses was about slavery. :/ It WAS written in 1814 after all.
