With songs of pain, protest, hope and humor, Ella’s been educating children (and their parents) since the ’50s—and making great albums like this 1960 Folkways recording. She celebrates African-American musical heritage with Chicago’s Goodwill Spiritual Choir, singing revival songs ("Run and Help Us Tell"); gospel songs ("Old Time Religion"); Maya Angelou’s "That’s All Right Julie" and more. Every bit as inspirational today.
