Proud Dad Can’t Help But Shed A Tear, Listening To His Daughters’ Beautiful Tribute To Their Late Grandfather
Losing an important person to you is never easy, but what really matters is how you are going to remember about them, and how you express your love for them. Amidst a sea of sorrow, this family found solace in music, singing their way through grief to bring a glimmer of hope to themselves and those tuning in.
Jewell Richins sets the stage for a heartfelt musical tribute to his late father, Joe, with a simple yet powerful declaration: “We just wanted to let him know that we love him.” This is followed by his daughters, KB and Karrisyn, pouring their souls into a poignant performance of the Grammy-nominated song ‘Rise Up.’ In this tender moment, the sisters not only pay homage to their beloved grandfather, but also display remarkable musical prowess that could rival any amateur artist.
‘Rise Up,’ originally performed by R&B sensation Andra Day, resonated globally when it was featured at President Joe Biden’s virtual inauguration in 2021. Day described the song as an anthem of perseverance, a sentiment deeply echoed by the Richins family in their heartfelt rendition recorded in February 2020, which you can listen to right here:
