In a newly-resurfaced video posted to YouTube, it’s not hard to see that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Several years ago, Joe Diffie’s daughter Kara joined her dad on stage at the Grand Ole Opry to sing “Amazing Grace,” and amazing it was!
Diffie introduced his daughter and she took to the mic to start the song, acapella. Her voice filled the Opry and the audience clapped and cheered at how beautiful it was. It was definitely a goosebump-worthy rendition of “Amazing Grace.”
