Charlotte Church performs this traditional hymn accompanied by a choir singing gentle harmonies. The melody is written using a pentatonic scale, for KS2 or KS3 pupils focussing on songwriting or arrangement, it may valuable to compare this recording with the Elvis Presley performance also on the site. Also worth noting is the key change about 2/3 of the way through.

Top 10 hit from the summer of 1980 and written by the Bee Gees, features what was the longest sung note at the time (just over half way through, the word "all" held for 12 seconds) until Whitney Houston later beat this record with her hit "I will always love you". Good example of female solo pop song.
