Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

I’ve been enjoying the new show, Crisis, on NBC and this song played at the end of Episode 2, “If You’re Watching This, I am Dead.” I searched You Tube for this “new” version of an old song, only to discover it was the version sung by Richie Havens in 1969 at Woodstock! I am […]
