Lee Ann Womack performs at Dr. Angelou’s Memorial Service.


Lee Ann Womack performed her signature hit “I Hope You Dance” at Maya Angelou‘s memorial service over the weekend (June 7) at Wake Forest University in North Carolina.
The title, written by Mark Sanders and Tia Sillers, was a favorite of Dr. Angelou’s, who passed away at her Winston-Salem home on May 28 at the age of 86.
Womack released the Grammy-winning song in 2000, and performed it on the Oprah Winfrey Show at the suggestion of Angelou in 2002.
Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama were among the additional celebrity guests who honored the celebrated author, speaker and teacher at the memorial ceremony.
Womack is prepping a new project, her first for Sugar Hill Records, which is expected to be released Sept. 23.
