    Moms Mabley, Woopi, and Sammy Davis Jr. How I would just love to hug them all. And, I think this is one of the greatest songs ever.

    This is what we call a ballot I remember this one of Mom's from a long long time ago and she did it justice.

    This performance was cathartic and powerful and it resonates deeply. She literally captured a moment of innocence and pain of a nation.

    Don't forget about Ray Charles version. It was the first time as a young man when I heard this song. I still love his version!

    My mom so loved Moms; I still have 5 of her albums from the early 60s that get played at least once a year.

    I saw Whoopi coverage of Mom Mabley and that was the first I'd heard of her. Thanks.

      Just found that that’s your dad who wrote this song!
      I would like to take the time right now to thank your dad for writing what I think is one of the best and most emotionally compelling songs I have ever heard.

    I have heard so many versions of this great songs and a few of them don't sound great, they sound very awkward. The best ive heard were Whitney hustons, (& I have never been a fan of hers), Harry Belafontes and best of all - moms -(despite its success I always thought Dions version, & I liked some of his stuff, was truly awful - Moms version was head and shoulders above any other. I guess the fact that the song relates to her entire life, her career etc helps make it so powerful -& the fact she knew dr King well and that she had met Kennedy reinforces how very personal it is. This being America 3 of the alleged "greats" of civil rights are white men. In America even the black mans struggle for civil rights is dominated by white men. This didn't seem to bother Moms she really seemed to love everyone. Growing up there were a couple of female comedians we were always kind of told were the trailblazers of female comedy, I never heard this great lady's name mentioned at the time. It's unfuckingbelievable that, despite a black president, true equality still does not exist in America. Truly shameful.
