RIP Billy Taylor (1921-2010)

Remembering Dr. Billy Taylor, who died on Tuesday 28th December through his unforgettable tune "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," in the form in which it has implanted itself deep into British minds.

Here is John Fordham's obituary from this morning's Guardian. And a Washington Post obituary drawing attention to his role as an advocate. RIP.
