Aside from that tune, one of her best known songs is the one picked by Linda from Elleroywashere.com for Lance's 100 Word Song Challenge this week. The song is "People Have The Power," and you know what... they do.
Using the song and writing exactly 100 words, here is my story for the week.
People Have The Power
“Dad…you were there?”
“Me and a quarter million others. August 28, 1963.”
“What was it like?”
“Son, I’ve lived through war, love, birth and death, but no
other moment comes close to what I felt that day. Change would come, and this
man would be a major force behind it; that I knew.”
“How?”
“Looking around, I saw men, women, children… black and white,
young and old. Many were crying; most held their breath. We all knew his was
the true vision, and in time the people would make it come true. On that day,
his dream became our destiny.”

ReplyDeletethanks jen, with everything that's been in the news lately, it seems the dream is not as close as we had hoped.
