Andrew Young summoned Baez early the next morning to a local minister’s home. He said King refused to get out of bed, and asked her to sing. Extreme rousting measures for exhaustion had failed, which meant King was despondent beyond tired, and Young pushed Baez past an anxious household to be a siren of revival. She sang “Pilgrim of Sorrow” in a cappella soprano until King smiled faintly by the second or third verse.
