An emotional rendition of “Go Rest High On That Mountain” was given by Kelly Clarkson.
Vince Gill wrote this beautiful song following the death of his brother. If you’ve not seen his performance with Patty Loveless following the death of The GREAT George Jones, at his tribute concert, please take a moment to watch it. It’s here on YouTube. It’s one of the most heart wrenching performances to ever witness. Just beautiful.
Kelly, you did this song proud. I would LOVE to hear you perform it with Vince. Your voice is a true Gift from God.
