Shameless self *promote
This is lost history any music lover should know. Much better music than Woodstock.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, February 10th, 2022 6:20pm PST - promote requested by original submitter newtboy.

*quality soul music.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by C-note.

Nina. Fucking. Simone. There were some incredible artists during that time and then there was Nina Simone. Everything about her was amazing, from her childhood through the end of her career.

She sang this song -- totally new -- when MLK was killed. It is absolutely heartbreaking:
