King wrote those words in 1964 as part of an essay included in the printed program for the first Berlin Jazz Festival. He was asked by the organizers to write the forward. Happy MLK, Jr. Day!

Aretha Franklin’s cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water!
Aretha Franklin’s version of RESPECT. By measure of impact, as well as success ? It’s not close.

R.I.P. Papa Lou. Thank You for the decades of soul soothing music!
Legendary saxophonist Lou Donaldson has passed away at age 98. He became a Blue Note fixture after playing on Milt Jackson & Thelonious Monk sessions in 1952 & soon began his own 20+ year run of leader albums spanning bebop, hard bop, soul jazz & jazz funk bluenote.lnk.to/LouDonaldson…

John Coltrane's "Soultrane" captures the essence of jazz innovation in 1958. His "sheets of sound" technique redefined improvisation, leaving listeners in awe. Tomorrow is Trane’s birthday #JazzLegend #JohnColtrane /1 This is a thread 🧵

Here's saxophonist Benny Golson, who left us yesterday at age 95, pointing to his image in the famous 'Great Day in Harlem' photo. With Golson's passing, Sonny Rollins is the last living musician in that iconic photo of jazz greats taken in 1958.
