A touching musical tribute to an iconic figure, simply but beautifully mixed with archive sound of his greatest speeches. It's only minor drawback is a fairly predictable structure. But that doesn't really detract from the moment to moment pleasure for the listener. Perfect for birth and death anniversaries, Black History month, or anytime, really. It's important to be reminded of the power of King's voice, his vision, and his humanity.
