What about "empathy"? You don't need to actually get through all these sufferings to be able to relate to it or to sing this type of song.

[WajedLou]

Magnifique !

[NarwhalsArePimps]

HELPFUL HINT: Your top and bottom teeth don't need to be touching the *whole* time when you're singing.

@BamaBoy205SR Was it that Pontius Pilot (sp) tried to convince the crowd that they wanted to execute the wrong man. There was another man who was a rapist and killer, yet the other man was harmless?

Meeropol was the poet (Jewish). A photograph shocked him in 1930, wrote the poem, then he wanted to make his poem known, through Billy. I don't find this video offensive. It's a beautiful song. An eye opener. Also Miki Howard sung this song.

@Gjonikki Yes, written as a poem in 1930 by a Jewish School Teacher, Meeropol and Sung in 1939 by a Talented Song Artist "Billy Holiday".

I think this guy is French. The announcer spoke French, not Spanish.

I love it, I'm a fan, from Mexico, your drama songs it's like fresh wind

[Gjonikki]

Keep in mind that this song was performed by black people however the lyrics are actually a poem written by a white jewish man.

Whether originally written by a white guy it not, its a bit awkward to see a white guy sing it. Listen to the lyrics, maybe watch the video featuring nina simone and realise that some people would find a video like this offensive. I certainly do. Having said that he does a good vocal.
