IBelieveInMusik (9 months ago) "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is the Black National Anthem. Thank you, Ray! It is on your shoulders we stand.

reallyblessed (5 days ago) His version of America The Beautiful has become the most celebrated one, but his version of Lift Every Voice is very underrated. This song was on the same album as America The Beautiful. The album is called A Message From The People , recorded in 1972
