Incredible: India.Arie

India.Arie is one of those few artists that could really sing anything, so when I came across this song a while ago; I just knew that India could deliver an incredible version of such a classic piece of poetry. Of course no one can touch the original, it’s truly in a league of his own, but India.Arie has done this song some justice, maybe even bringing a few new fans to recognise this song. A song that was written in a time when times were hard; when there were barriers between races and so much focus was spent on the colour of someone’s skin. This song is such a descriptive piece of writing that really shows you what people went through back then.

Here is the very song that I was talking of above.
