Joan Baez

I listened to the Joan Baez version of "We Shall Overcome" Like many of the other versions of the time it had very little orchestration, only a guitar. I don't necessarily think that her version was anything amazing, but what I found more interesting was the audience that could be heard in the background. They all knew the words and all sang along throughout the entire piece. That shows just how important and well known this song was during this period.
