The most powerful song paying tribute to a young man who deserves credit for inspiring a movement of change and saving lives.

Thank you....as spine-chilling as the original, and sadly, as relevant.

Great version of this song! I first heard it when Joan Baez had it on an album. It was definitely worth the cost of joining to be able to hear it and I totally agree to music being a bridge between cultures, nations and races. Perhaps better than most because I’m native American Parent and also a musician myself
