Sublime re-working of Sam Cooke's classic protest song by Youthsayers - our talented and hardworking group of South London teenagers, working with limited resources in lockdown isolation. A testament to positivity, strength in community and hope for the future.
Recorded individually at home during lockdown, this track represents Youthsayers' determination to continue to make uplifiting and positive sounds despite the current challenges.
Sam Cooke's remarkable civil rights era protest song (originally edited by his own label to avoid the controversy) is treated with a heavy reggae groove, sublime vocals and heartfelt playing all round by our group of talented teenagers - a song of hope, defiance and triumph over adversity and opression. Sadly all too relevant in today's political and social climate, but offering joy and the promise of a better future in the certain knowledge that A Change Is Gonna Come.
Thanks for your support. All proceeds go to the continuation of Youthsayers as a freely accessible community music project for 9-20 year olds in the Brixton area.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
