King.The world is going to miss you B.B., but Heaven just got a little more interesting, now that you've joined that band of angels up there. RIP, BB. We love you very much....

The Staple Singers - Long Walk To D.C.

Today is, of course, the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis in 1968. The assassination had a tremendous impact on everyone in the United States. One Stax group particularly close to Dr. King was the Staple Singers. Here is their 1968 Stax message song, “Long Walk to D.C.,” a tribute to Dr. King’s 1963 March on Washington.
