Joan and Mimi sing in Spanish at Sing Sing - 1972

On Thanksgiving Day, 1972, New York's Sing Sing Prison invited B.B. King, Joan Baez, the Voices of East Harlem, comedian Jimmy Walker, and others to perform for the inmates. New York's Daily News called it one of the greatest concert moments in live entertainment. B.B. King later said it was maybe the best performance that he had ever given. http://www.thehoffmancollection.com/







Thanks to Nick for his great show on American folk singers performing folk songs in
many languages.
