Subject: RE: Civil Rights songs at the White House Feb 9
I found a lot of the concert on Youtube, sponsored by PBS. Here are links to Joan Baez singing "We Shall Overcome",Jennifer and Smokey Robinson singing "People Get Ready", Yolanda Adams singing "A Change is Gonna Come", Natalie Cole singing "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free", the Howard University Choir singing "Lord, I Don' Done," and Bob Dylan singing "The Times They Are A Changin'". Joan Baez's voice is not as young as it was back in the 60s, but younger voices, including those of Natalie Cole and the Howard University Choir, carry it on. I find them all very moving.
