Full title is: Let Freedom Sing! Music of the Civil Rights Movement
As the folk revival and soul music were coming of age, so was the Civil Rights movement. People inspired the songs, and the songs inspired the people; this box takes you through 70 years of people and songs that cried out for change: Strange Fruit Billie Holiday; When Do I Get to Be Called a Man? Big Bill Broonzy; We Are Americans Too Nat King Cole; Blowin' in the Wind Bob Dylan; People Get Ready Impressions; Say It Loud-I'm Black and I'm Proud James Brown; Stand! Sly & the Family Stone; The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Gil Scott-Heron; Inner City Blues Marvin Gaye, and more including a song-and a written introduction-by Chuck D! |
