Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the Westbury Music Fair just three days following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., this performance is permeated by an overwhelming sense of collective mourning and righteous anger. The hastily written, fiercely emotional tribute 'Why? (The King of Love Is Dead)' stands as the album's harrowing centerpiece. It captures a historically vital moment of communal grief channeled through her unparalleled, deeply authoritative stage presence.
