    Default Honoring Dr. ML King

    I learned that the song, "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" sung by Mahalia Jackson was a fav of Dr King's (sung at his service)..
    He can be seen in the audience at one of her live performances.

    Written by Tommy Dorsey, who's wife & infant son passed away, he was very depressed, &, decided against religious music, a friend of his asked him to help him compose some music, he sat down at the piano & this song came to him.

    He was inspired by Ms. Jackson in the "I have a Dream" speach

    Anyway, remembering Dr MLK & his life of service
