I made this concert film inside Sing Sing prison with BB King and others in 1973. My partner and I taught a class in storytelling and many inmates assigned up. We asked the warden for permission to present a concert (something that had happened wtih Johnny Cash in Folsom prison) and he said yes. We invited BB King, Joan Baez, Jimmy Walker the comedian, and a new group of inner-city kids called The Voices Of East Harlem. Their performance was fantastic as this video clip shows. it was done at the height of the Black power movement. Their performance almost caused a riot which the Warden had to get involved to stop. Where are many other clips from my documentary on my KZitem channel. If you want to see the entire 90 min. film, go here www.amazon.com/dp/B00061U15C .
