Watching (listening rather) the BET awards and they introduced Mohammed Ali, I think as a presenter, and the music playing as he took the stage was "The Greatest Love"....

tickled my funnybone :)

I am. Is it the juxtaposition of violence and love?

Eye roll maybe.

The song was written for the Film "The Greatest' which Ali starred in as himself. What is the joke?

I can see that. Actually that's pretty good.

Awwwwww. Don't go home. We still love you.

/me starts singing... voice cracking...

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside

/me voice grows stronger... people start to look up, take notice...

Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

/everybody stands up... joins in...

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

/Ralektra hears singing... comes back... group hug for all

i liked the version Will Smith did of him..
I watched the older one with Ali in it..there is something about people playing themselves back in the times when they were young that i like.i think it is to see all the things they actually had back then and how they acted..
it's like watching history or something

Will Smith was pretty good. Ali in his prime was a bit before my time, but from what I've seen he was definitely a charismatic personality, handsome, glib, principled. It's sad to see him deteriorating like he is now.
