A bill introduced into the Tennessee General Assembly has proposed making Dolly Parton’s rendition of “Amazing Grace” an official state song. The bill introduced by State Representative Mike Sparks and Senator Raumesh Akbari, Dolly’s version is among the “songs of historic significance that have influenced this State.” It details the history of clergyman John Newton, who is credited with writing the original hymn. The bill was passed on second consideration to be referred to a Senate State and Local Government Committee. There is no word yet on when lawmakers will vote on it.
