Alicia Keyes Singing at Super Bowl

Following the scandal from last year’s Super Bowl, Janet Jackson’s nipplegate, the organizers decided to offer a more tranquil show.

Alicia Keyes was invited and will be accompanied by 150 students from st-Augustine School in Florida.

"I’m very excited to be playing at the Super Bowl for the first time, especially because I will be singing a song made famous by an artist I admire, miss and respect."

In fact, America the Beautiful was made a hit by Ray Charles on his 1972 album A Message From the People.  The late Ray Charles also performed this song at a former Super Bowl.
