Equality.. Yeah...Honoring MARTIN LUTHER KING jr. '60's Civil Rights Tunes

by OakleyOriginals cc
Today I'm thinking of one of MY greatest heros of the '60's...MARTIN LUTHER KING jr., yes, a man with a dream. And, a sacred, lofty, couragious [spell?] dream it was and is today and always...FREEDOM and EQUALITY for all. There were some great songs written by those dreamers or beautiful troubadores, and poets of the 60's, who also supported Rev. Dr. King's dreams. AND, I'll post some links below. Jan
------------------
One of my personal favorite tunes from those times back in the '60's is a beautiful song by SAM COOKE and HERE called 'A Change Is Gonna Come' [thanks missbham205], many folks have only heard the newer SEAL and HERE version, to hear Seal's version of 'A Change Is Gonna Come' [thanks WonderfulHits]....AND, many have never thought of it's original meaning of this song...what I read was that Sam Cooke wrote it for Rev. King way back in 1963. Oh Yea...read MY story 'bout Sam Cooke HERE. The video page for that song says only: "  Uploaded on Jul 14, 2011



Sam Cooke A Change Is Gonna Come lyrics (1963"


More tunes that remind us all ofthe way it was then are listed below. I was so surprised that so many of these songs were later done by other musical artists and the original reason for the song...civil rights.... had been lost somewhere along the way.Videos by TPFThePeoplesForum  were wonderful and where I got the list of tunes below.  Check them out. Thanks. Jan
I think Rev. King desearves our repect and honor, remember, he gave his very life for equal rights for all of us people, no matter your origin or color, white, black, yellow, brown, red people or other even ...WOW. How many folks can say they believe in something so sincerely that they'd to do that?...not many I bet. HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY. Jan and Steve
