The Story Behind The Song 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free' By Nina Simone
I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free was recorded by Nina Simone in 1967.
It was written by Billy Taylor and Dick Dallas in 1963 and went on to be adopted by the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s in which Nina Simone was heavily involved.
Lyrically the song is one of frustration at the plight of the black community while also outlining what freedom and equality would look like.
John Caddell joined Mario for Mario's Sunday Roast to dive deeper into the Story Behind The Song 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free'.
