    I'm 59 years young.I was born in 1964. I remember the late 1960's and when the Rev.Dr.Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968. I have never so many elders and Great Grandparents cry. This affected my soul for the rest of my life and days on this Earth 🌍. I realized what it means to be blessed enough to have had these people in my life, and what it means to be black and a man in America. I will never forget these people and wherever their Souls are resting, I am still continuing on the path.🌎🌍🇺🇸🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

      I was 9 years old when Dr. King was shot. It was the first time I ever saw my parents -- two white people who lived in Canada -- cry. I will never forget that. He changed the whole world.

      out on the road touring with the PFC Band. Titi is a marvel, as is Clarence Bekker from the Netherlands. Many of those other musicians you'll begin to recognize through other videos too; Mermans from the Congo, Grandpa Elliott from New Orleans who was also (as was Clarence) in the very first video: Stand By Me. Others onstage are from all over the World as well. This version of this song brings me back over and over like so many others. Brilliant, beautiful and passionate.
