Strong lady Mamma Mavis Staples , very motivational songs ... i like strong people who talk for the oppressed , people like Nilson Mandela and Malcolm X .. Peace and love , justice and equality !!!
SAW HER CLOSE A FESTIVAL WITH A LOT OF YOUNG BLUES FANS STILL AROUND , AFTER A NUMBER OR TWO THE CROWD MOVED IN CLOSE TO THE STAGE WITH HOLSTROM WORKING HIS GUITAR MAGIC, BY THE END OF THE SET SOME OF THESE TWENTY SOMETHINGS WERE CRYING , OVERCOME BY EMOTION , CATCH HER BEFORE SHE GOES TO HEAVEN
Wonderful performance , amazing sound quality. 50 years of listening to her and I am still moved !!!! Have long since thought that Stevie Wonder has this sort of stuff in his roots

"I don't know about you, but I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna march...right up to that big house." It’s time again for dramatic, decisive action. Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C. We will lay siege to the White House. And we will sustain it for exactly fifty days. This is the #WhiteHouseSiege. A siege only works if it is sustained. We witnessed this - the multiplying power of a strategic occupation - nine years ago. You dig in, hold your ground, and the tension accumulates, amplifies, goes global. Fifty days - September 17th to November 3rd. #MeToo, #BLM, #ExtinctionRebellion, #WhiteHouseSiege
Lisrwn to this all of us so what are you waiting for the need I great and we aeww running out of time children nobody to care of babies march that’s it marchro stoprhe violence against it

Whatever this is, it ain't JAZZ, just pretentious 'pop'.
Hmmm. I don't see it referred to as JAZZ anywhere in the description. But it's not "pop," nor is it pretentious.
Where's the bluray release!?!?
