Incidentally, haven't checked the whole 54 pages of this excellent thread, but if nobody's put up the Bob and Marcia version of “Young, Gifted and Black” then that is negligence that amounts to a crime against humanity. I loved that song when I first heard it on the radio, and I still do. It has all the hope, all the spirit, all the innocence of the times in it. And although it's by a black woman, directed to black people, I, a white middle-class 16-year-old fresh out of school, felt it was for me too.
What a fine bloody summer that was… “Give Me Just A Little More Time” and “Young, Gifted and Black” both out?
(Just realised that I've previously posted on this. No matter. Always worth cheerleading for this one.)
