the best song ever


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Biko

The security services imprisoned Biko at Walmer Police Station in Port Elizabeth, where he was held in custody for almost a month.[114] On arrival, he was kept naked in a cell for twenty days, with his legs in shackles.[115] During his interrogation, he was severely beaten by one of the ten security police officers,[116] although the exact events have never been ascertained.[117] He received three brain lesions that resulted in a massive brain haemorrhage on 6 September.[118] Following this incident, Biko's captors forced him to remain standing and shackled to the wall.[119]

Two doctors examined him, and recommended that he be transferred to the police hospital at Pretoria.[117] On 11 September, police loaded him into the back of a Land Rover, naked and manacled, and drove him the 700 kilometres to the hospital.[120] There, Biko died alone in a cell on 12 September 1977.[121] According to a subsequent autopsy, Biko had died following a brain injury which had centralised blood circulation in his body and resulted in intravasal blood coagulation, acute kidney failure, and uremia.[122] Biko was the twenty-first person to die in a South African prison in the span of twelve months.[123]

both long, long-time favorites

The following is a track from a new cd I have purchased of the King and a lesser known German singer named Helene Fischer, backed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
