Secretariat - 'O Happy Day '

Показать описание

"Oh Happy Day" is a 1967 gospel music arrangement of an 18th-century hymn. Recorded by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, it became an international hit in 1969, reaching No. 4 on the US Singles Chart, No. 1 in France, Germany and the Netherlands and No. 2 on both the UK singles chart and Irish Singles Chart. It has since become a gospel music standard.

The song has appeared in many movies, beginning with the German film Seventeen and Anxious in 1970, but most notably Whoopi Goldberg's Sister Act 2, with then-17-year-old Ryan Toby singing lead. The song also appears in Big Momma's House,Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, David LaChapelle's 2005 movie Rize, Robin William's 2007 movie License to Wed., and in 2010 biographical film produced by Walt Disney Pictures: Secretariat.

The song was used in several significant areas of the Walt Disney Film (2010) "Secretariat." These two clips demonstrate how the song was used in that movie.

"My curiosity got the best of me. I had to turn around. When I looked at it, I scared myself." ~ Ronny Turcotte. "There's no horse in the history of horse-racing that could have beaten Secretariat on that day." ~ Mike Battaglia, Daily Racing Form.

I was young when this horse that NOBODY wanted except 1 lady. A housewife fought for this horse and right from wrong. This horse brought a country together again. You must remember the times - all the hate with the war, and many more hateful things - love changed the world. With God's help they made it thru all the trials and won the triple crown. They beat the odds and so can we.

Tears run down my cheeks everytime I watch this movie! I was 16 when this happened, I'm 62 and I will never forget!! I love it! If there is an afterlife I will live on a horse farm. I LOVE them so much! RIP all---you have made my life richer. THANK YOU!

I was young when he ran all his races but I still remember how people talked about the horse that God made. He was a horse that brought this country something good to think about instead of the war. I remember he was on all the covers of magnize at our house. Mom showed his picture off and told me to always be a believer in people and animals. We all need his sprit everyday. We all learned from a horse/and his owner. Love and peace always..

I love the horse. It always came from behind almost always and won. When he died they measured his heart - well needless to say it was huge in size and love. He teaches us all never give up!

so proud to of seen the very stall where he was born. His birthplace is an hour from me, and has his great great (x?) granddaughter, groundshaker living there now. So cool
