People Get Ready

People Get Ready
da Sing for Freedom - The Story of the Civil Rights Movement through its songs. Edited and compiled by Guy and Candie Carawan.

In addition to Jimmy Collier's songs, the 'End the Slums' movement has adapted many rhythm and blues songs. To the urban Negro of today, many of these songs provide an emotional release from the omnipresent suffering, while stimulating the will to struggle, serving them in much the same manner as the spirituals served their enslaved forefathers.

David Llorens, "New Birth in the Ghetto", Sing Out! July 1966

Never Too Much Love

Never Too Much Love
Words and music by Curtis Mayfield (The Impressions), 1964, (adaptation by the Chicago Movement, 1966)

There's a rock and roll group called The Impressions and we call them 'movement fellows' and we try to sing a lot of their songs. Songs like Keep on Pushing, I Been Trying, I'm So Proud, It's Gonna be a Long Long Winter, People Get Ready, There's a Meeting Over Yonder really speak to the situation a lot of us find ourselves in. One song that has really become kind of a favorite with us especially when we got a lot of mean folks around is 'Never Too Much Love'"

Jimmy Collier

"Now one thing we try to do with this song is to get people to make up verses. You'd be surprised what kind of verses come from people who don't consider themselves songwriters or singers... Some people don't even consider themselves people."

from Sing for Freedom - The Story of the Civil Rights Movement through its songs. Edited and compiled by Guy and Candie Carawan.

A Pickaxe and a Stone

A Pickaxe and a Stone
[1969]
Brano trovato su Broadside Magazine n.100 del luglio 1969

Beh, non di certo una canzone pacifica…
Però ‘sto Jimmy Collier mi pare che da giovane fosse un po’ sborone… o era il comune sentire dell’epoca, che si sarebbe riusciti a far fuori tutti i “Mister”?!? Comunque Jimmy Collier continua a suonare e cantare anche oggi; lo fa con un bel cappellone da cowboy calato in testa e senza che sui cenni biografici che compaiono sulla sua pagina ci sia la benchè minima traccia del “rude rivoluzionario” che è stato da giovane…
