Going Viral


Raise your voices in a paean

To Park Jae-sang, the South Korean!


No one knows exactly why

But YouTube fell in love with PSY,

And yet it’s true that “Gangnam Style”

Ruled that platform for a while.

Three Variation on a Theme


In 2011 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.” – WIkipedia

As “The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement”

You could hardly have found an improvement.


(2)

You could travel the land and not get a

Voice with the strength of Odetta.

Rosa Parks and Dr. King

Loved to hear Odetta sing.
