Cover versions[edit]
Many artists recorded "God Bless America Again" through the years, including Jan Howard, Jim & Jesse, Billy Preston, Tex Ritter, Floyd Van Laningham, Dee Vickery, Ray Charles, and Bob Whitlock.[1]
Also recording a cover version were Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, whose duet recording was the B-side to their No. 3 country hit "The Letter." The Twitty-Lynn version, released in 1976, featured Twitty speaking the verses while Lynn sang the refrain. The Lynn version was played during the closing credits in the 2012 HBO made-for-TV movie "Game Change" about Sarah Palin's role in the 2008 Presidential Election which she and John McCain lost. It was also featured in the opening sequences of the film Canadian Bacon.
