Tom Clay - What The World Needs Now
If you haven't heard this - or if you haven't heard it in a while - this would be the day to hear it.
The song arrangements of "What the World Needs Now" and "Abraham, Martin and John" are dated and kind of corny now but this recording, put together by midwestern Deejay Tom Clay, is very moving. There are clips of JFK, RFK, MLK and Ted Kennedy giving that horribly sad and breathtakingly beautiful eulogy at Bobby's funeral. Gets to me every time. The songs may be dated but the editing on here is still pretty amazing - long before digital. Tom Clay had a way with a blade and a reel-to-reel.
RIP Ted Kennedy. The most effective Senator America has ever seen. America will not be the same without you.
But we can try.
