American singer, actress, guitarist, lyricist, and a civil and human rights activist, often referred to as "The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement". Her musical repertoire consisted largely of American folk music, blues, jazz, and spirituals. An important figure in the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, she influenced many of the key figures of the folk-revival of that time, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mavis Staples, and Janis Joplin. Time magazine included her recording of "Take This Hammer" on its list of the 100 Greatest Popular Songs, stating that "Rosa Parks was her No. 1 fan, and Martin Luther King Jr. called her the queen of American folk music.

I really enjoy and derive such benefit from spirituals BUT feel polluted when they are set for white ears (four-part harmony, all voices singing the same words at the same time).

Are there singing groups that perform spirituals in a way that *isn't* arranged for whites?

The rabbit holes that I love to follow are often started by someone -a friend, a random post- suggesting something new. Or familiar. This is both.
Enjoy!

Morning folks! Have a happy Sunday! #singers #musicians #classical #spirituals #Sunday

We lamented for a Sun we'd never seen, shackled as we were in this dark place.

No Sun. No Moon. No stars. Just these neverending warrens deep within the earth.

But the Old Ones remembered. They sang us #spirituals of blue skies and rain.

And we cried from blind eyes.
