Deaf students to sign and sing along Alicia Keys
On February's Super Bowl 150 students from Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind will accompany Award-winning R&B singer, Alicia Keys, while she sings "America the Beautiful" which will be watched by an estimated 150 million people in the US.
Alicia Keys is reported as saying "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, Ray Charles, along with the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind." The students will sign along with Keys as she sings at the Super Bowl.
The late Ray Charles attended the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind as a blind child in 1937. There he developed his great gift of music.
