SUPER SUNDAY VOICES: From Anita Bryant to Lady Gaga

LADY GAGA will sing the National Anthem as part of Super Bowl 50 pregame festivities at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday, February 7, the NFL and CBS announced today. The performance will be televised live on CBS prior to kickoff.
More than 118.5 million viewers watched last year’s Super Bowl, the most-watched television program in history.  The pregame show, including the National Anthem, and Super Bowl 50 will be broadcast worldwide. 

Did you know that it wasn't until Super Bowl III that the anthem was sung? The first two Super Bowls were performed by collegiate marching bands. As we celebrate 50 years we look back at the voices and bands who have performed our national anthem .
