Twelve years after its release in the film, an unheard solo performance of Aretha Franklin singing the song was released to commemorate Juneteenth 2020 with a new video visualizing the American human rights movement. This caused the song to enter the Billboard gospel charts at #1, giving Franklin the distinction of having had #1 records in every decade since the 1960s [3]
