Day 18: A song from the 60s (Martin Luther King Appreciation)

Couldn’t really find too much about MLK.

But found this and it mentions Marie - but not Curie.

The flipside of the original version of one is the loneliest number. Harry Nillson was a hell of a songwriting genius. this is a beautiful song.

Day 18 - Names of *people that made the world a better place (MLK appreciation decades week ~ 60s)

* Those people mentioned did make the world a better place, however I’m just going to vibe and find music that reflects how I’ve experienced the world changing in my 30 short years here.

“and just when you mean to tell her
that you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
and she lets the river answer
that you've always been her lover”

Suzanne - Leonard Cohen (1966/1967)

60s 70s 80s 90s 00s 10s 20s

Doesn't have to be about the person. Just the name. I will even credit 'park' for Rosa Parks.
