George Beverly Shea: North Korea

Evangelist Billy Graham Dept: Shea's rendition of How Great Thou Art came to define the faith of a Protestant generation Graham addressed. Shea performed live before an estimated 200 million people at crusades over the years - taking him from North Dakota to North Korea and beyond, according to Vancouver Sun. A Canadian immigrant who became one of America's most-recognized gospel soloists, Shea summed up his career with one of his inspirational trademarks: The Wonder of It All and Canadian-born George Beverly Shea, whose booming baritone voice echoed through stadiums, squares and souls during a decades-long career with evangelist Billy Graham, has died aged 104. He joined Graham's crusade team in 1947 and stayed until Graham's declining health ended most of the evangelist's public appearances nearly 60 years later. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
