Oscar Brown Jr set "When Malindy Sings" to music (well, verses 1, 3, 8 & 9 made it into his song). Needless to say he recorded it, and I included it on my latest CD (accompanied by Bert Jansch, btw). Details at my website : http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~margretr
Nina Simone did the same for his fantastic 2-verse "Compensation" (on her Nina Simone & Piano album).
