9/11 and the CV-19 Tragedies and Their Music Commonalities

So, I have been including music, mostly inspirational, some satirical relating to CV-19 in my weekly Rock 'n Roll Radio Show.  Probably, the most inspirational of all tunes that I've included in my weekly Rock 'n Roll Radio Show is Roger & Hammerstein's You'll Never Walk Alone.  Besides the Pacemakers or Jim Nabor's covers of that song, I think the MOST evocative cover of that tune is Barbara Streisand's closure of the 2011 Grammy's with the backdrop listing the names of the tragedy-stricken people who were killed in the Towers.  The people in attendance at the Grammys all stood with a rousing ovation.  That setting, IMHO couldn't be captured any better:  the vision of the people standing with the accompanying ovation is beyond comprehension unless you actuallyt witnessed it  Didn't matter what political-allegiance, size, religion - whatever.  There was something that roused the fervor of the country, the world, at the moment.  Only Barbra Streisand, in that setting, could do it justice!
