More than any other person in the 20th century, Billy Graham, who died this week aged 99, was the voice of America.
And what a voice! When I saw him give his last sermon in New York in his last ‘crusade’ in 2005, he was 86 and suffering from fluid on the brain, prostate cancer, a pelvic fracture and Parkinson’s disease.
Yet you wouldn’t have known it: he looked film-star terrific with his flowing mane of snow-white hair, sober dark suit and crisp, white shirt.
And then there was the voice – resonant and thick with the southern accent of his native Charlotte, North Carolina.
