Beyonce, who performed an emotional 'Take My Hand, Precious Lord' at 2015 Grammys, has revealed that she could recall her father's traumatic experience during her performance.

The 'Crazy in Love' singer shared a behind-the-scene video and believed during her performance that it was the time to show her strength and vulnerability in black men, regarding which her father had faced many unkind things that got him into trauma, E! Online reported.

The 33-year-old singer added that her grandparents marched with King Martin Luther and her father was a part of the first generation of black men that attended an all-white school, and through her dynamic performance the singer sang her father's pain.
