      I had the same thought today! Well, yes, she sang it already 1963. Today I have been singing it throughout the day. Its a good feeling - soothing. Thank you Joan!!! I am from Germany, Berlin! :)

    Have you seen those innocent and humble faces to claim peace and to be heard, all singing together this beautiful song? It's overwhelming. How come the US people has learn so little not to say anything from their history so far?

    The greatness of soul
    speaks for itself. The beauty and brilliance of her heart, of her soul, says
    everything we need to know about her unshakable calling for the Light to
    overcome the shadow in humanity. And she has the magic power of touching the
    very best we may have inside. This is the job she chose since she was a child .
    She keeps doing it with incredible beauty at her 78s. May we deserve to have
    her with us for the years ahead. God bless Joan Baez, forever.(Sorry for my broken english. I´m brasilian )
