But nobody who has a hint of sanity and reasoning ability could deny his greatness.<BR/><BR/>To the main point, "Songs of Freedom" is a cultural monument of sorts, I think, but it was undercut by the sentiment it expressed and its premature success.<BR/><BR/>I had never seen the original album art. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>GeorgeHucbaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111826753868595100noreply@blogger.com
