Love Reign O'er Me/The Who

Written by guitarist Pete Townshend, this song features a truly sublime performance by vocalist Roger Daltrey.

Wade In The Water/Ella Jenkins & The Goodwill Spiritual Choir

When I learnt the history behind this spiritual, I shuddered a little. Many songs such as this one were used as secret coded messages to guide fugitive slaves to safety from oppressors. The lyrics "Wade in the water" actually tell the listener to leave dry land and take to the water, as a means of escape. I find this rendition by legendary folk singer Ella Jenkins particularly powerful.

Does anyone else get reminded of Nick Drake on hearing this guy?

Beautiful piano anthem by the late Pink Floyd keyboardist. The chorus warms me up every time, it's so uplifting.
