Here’s Lucy and Martha Thomas with a rendition of another classic, “The Prayer”.

The classical crossover duet was originally recorded by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion.

It’s become a timeless ballad, one that seemingly transcends time and generations.

For good reason too.

The song wasn’t originally planned as a duet though. “The Prayer” was first recorded in two solo versions.

It was meant for the movie Quest for Camelot.

One version was recorded in English by Dion, and another in Italian by Bocelli.

But it is the duet between Dion and Bocelli that’s the most popular version of the song.

Lines are recorded and sang in both English and Italian. Search for it and you’ll know why.
