French National Anthem....best performance I've seen

?si=kg2hUa7IXaQLMtXs

Mireille Mathieu sings La Marseillaise, the national anthem of France, written in 1792 and adopted as the rallying call to the French Revolution.

This song was used in the film Casablanca. Her performance is so passionate and brings me to tears. The lyrics are brutal which makes it even more stirring.
