Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/How Great Thou Art
In a preliminary question I asked whether a performer like Ms. Adams counts as a government employee to determine PD eligibility. I later realized that the relevant issue is whether the person filming Ms. Adams is a government employee, which is the case. This file presents our first example of the possibilities of using White House entertainer performances for featured sounds. Looking at this file, I think this is a promising possibility. This file significantly ads to the following pages:
- How Great Thou Art (hymn)
- East Wing
- Yolanda Adams
- Gospel music
Hymn- African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968)

- P.S. does that mean the audio version of this is PD and the video version is not?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- Since above Guerillero (talk · contribs) suggests that there are some sort of personality rights to video performances, I have added an audio only version for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
