Great - and such deep dive stuff - about one of the fathers of the Republic - and a great American. There's great narrative song giving credit to this transcendent writer and leader.
"The life and legacy of Frederick Douglass, seen through the eyes of one Comfort Washington, born a slave, one of his first teachers along with the owner's wife. Ms. Washington is persented here as a free woman, still living in Baltimore after the civil war. This tribute to Frederick Douglass, from a performance by noted R&B and session singer Joyce Dee was written and produced by New York City singer/ songwriter Kevin Kane. Kane's acoustic guitar and string bass, and Ms. Dee's heart-wrenching vocals are tied together by jazz violinist Jim Nolet's soaring accompaniment. At almost nine and a half minutes, this is more folk opera than it is song - offered here in honor of a great American hero."
