Description by OLDIES.com:

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL celebrates true American beauty in crystal clear High Definition accompanied by an incredible soundtrack mastered in Dolby TrueHD. Legendary Ray Charles comes alive with his timeless rendition of America The Beautiful paired with spectacular scenes of the United States of America in all her glory. Along with American favorite instrumental music selections from Classical to Opera, Ragtime to Cajun, Bagpipes to Banjo the purple mountains majesty, fruited plains, and oceans white with foam never looked so good.
