Beyoncé’s Powerful Grammys Performance Brings The House Down

Bow down to Beyoncé. At Sunday night’s Grammys, Beyoncé helped introduce Common and John Legend’s performance of “Glory” from the movie “Selma” by singing “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.” The gospel song appears in Ava DuVernay’s film about Martin Luther King Jr. and was reportedly one of the civil rights leader’s favorites. It’s also one of Beyoncé’s favorites: As Gwyneth Paltrow said before the performance, Beyoncé first heard the song when her mother sang it.

Beyoncé was tied with Pharrell and Sam Smith for the most nominations at this year’s Grammys. She won three awards on the night. Last year, she started the show with a performance of “Drunk in Love” with her husband, Jay Z.
