For as long as we can remember, music has been the soundtrack of society. Songs, of all kinds, have come to represent important cultural, political and social events. Talented songwriters like you, have reflected on the world and our place in it and changed the course of history. For years, some of the most talented artists and many newcomers have shared their visions of a better world through their music.
Joan Baez singing Pete Seeger’s “We Shall Overcome” was a popular anthem during the civil rights movement. Sam Cooke was turned away from a hotel in Louisiana because he was black. He was inspired by Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind.” Cooke wrote “A Change is Gonna Come.”
Many causes, many movements and many dreams have been supported by songwriters sharing their music and lyrics.
“Alright,” by Kendrick Lamar, “Fortunate Son,” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, “Ohio,” by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” by U2, and “We Are the World,” by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie are all great examples of songs that made a difference.
