Two Civil Rights Songs

If I were a radio deejay like the late New York broadcaster Danny Stiles ("The Vicar of Vintage"), I'd play Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit." And then I'd segue into "Georgia Rose" by Carmen McRae. The songs complement each other. Both were recorded two years apart during the Civil Rights Movement days of the 1950s. One dealt with lynching, the other promoted racial pride and self-esteem.
