Ms. Holiday sings one of the most gut wrenching songs of the civil rights struggle. Her label, Columbia, refused to record Strange Fruit due to fears of a negative reaction from the South. However, they did agree to a one session opt out of her contract in order to record this track.

Though a singularly beautiful song, releasing it was a dangerous career move at the time; something which is thankfully strange for us to think about nowadays (pretty cool write-up here). I would have loved to have found a performance of that song, unfortunately it was performed live only once, and Mr. Cooke was killed shortly after. In it's a place, here's a song that old Robbie Zimmerman wrote which Sam immediately picked up on.
