(September 3, 2021) Today, Grammy, Billboard Music, Stellar, and Dove Award-winning musician and songwriter Tasha Cobbs Leonard releases her own rendition of The Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Full of masterful vocal runs and emotive verve, Leonard’s voice soars to the heavens with a message of solidarity and strength.
