Strange Fruit~ Yolanda Rhodes sings-Ric Louchard Accompanies

Part 1) The first time I heard Yolanda sing it was Ave Maria and I cried. We became friends. I then heard her sing in a concert hall and was more blown away than I had been before. The venue you're watching was recorded in a small cafe. Yolanda was holding back because of the size. There's a part in La Wally when performing in a concert hall she will step back a few paces and still cause the microphone to overload. You are watching a million dollar Lamborghini Reventon acting like a Volkswagen.

Part 2) I believe in 5 degrees of separation. If anyone has a connection of any type to get this woman recognized please do so. Next to children starving for no reason and the torture of human beings and other living things Yolanda's not having the recognition I believe she deserves is truly an injustice in my heart. In Peace. Duende.

"... a reign of terror that gripped black southerners. Most of the lynchings were by hanging or shooting, or both. However, many were of a more hideous nature—burning at the stake, maiming, dismemberment, castration, and other brutal methods of physical torture. Lynching therefore was a cruel combination of racism and sadism, which was utilized primarily to sustain the caste system in the South.;;"
