    This performance is the most heartbreaking of all those I've seen. The assassinations were still fresh in our minds and hearts when Moms Madley sang this and clearly she was feeling it deeply. It didn't just bring tears to my eyes, it made them roll down my cheeks.

      Absolutely, this interpretation is special. Even though Moms singing quality isn't anything to write home about, but it's the emotional quality that hits home. It's genuine and it's sincere. It comes from the heart. I give her my upmost respect. 1968 was a terrible time. And hearing this performance, I too had tears rolling down my face.

    It's November 13th, 2024 and I'm still numb from the election that will change our course on the world's stage.
    Bobby would have been horrified had he seen what his son stood for these days. More tears because good did not win out over hate this time around. Peace, y'all. 💔✌

    Ive loved this song from the first time my 4th grade teacher told usc1 day to close our eyes, put our heads down on our desks and told us to just listen to the words. I must've been 9 or 10. Thank you mrs. Desmond! This version for some reason makes me think of all the ppl I've lost.

      Kudos to your teacher to let this song wash over you while you listened intently on the words. Everyone should experience such an exercise. We need this vibe more than ever before.

    As a black, female and lesbian, she brilliantly celebrates the lives of those who strived to improve the world. Change comes slowly and those who came after Moms Mabley stand to benefit from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to legalizing gay marriage. Moms was ahead of her time. In 2024 with democracy on the line, we need Moms and perhaps Kamala Harris might carry on the fight that Moms believed in. Freedom isn't free. Abraham, Martin, John and Bobby paid the ultimate price to make America a better place to live in.

I can't think of a more powerful representation of the lament shared among the black community, civil rights supporters, and just about anyone that has a soul in the wake of the assassinations. If this doesn't move you, you need to check your pulse.
