 Topic: the song that samples speech of Martin Luther KingPosted: July 09 2023 at 10:15 |

Hi.
I am trying to recall the name of a progressive rock group I had discovered, but the only thing I remember is that in one of their songs they sampled a speech of Martin Luther King. Do you happen to know which song, therefore band that was? I think there were g's in their name.
Thanks in advance. Edited by Relin - July 09 2023 at 10:16 |

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

The band MOODSWINGS-"Moodfood"- does a song called Spiritual High ( in three parts ) that samples the Martin Luther King speech ," I Have a Dream..." it's wonderful.

Not so Prog, but the song Peacemaker Die by the band Extreme also has the Martin Luther King speech.

I've done one, but I'm sure it's not the one you are looking for. My stuff is too crap and I'm so shy of it that I won't post a link.  Anyway, I have noticed that he was used to put a short pause between sentences of the same length, like he was singing. This makes put some music behind it very easy.

... what he said. I think this may be the song you are thinking of. One of my faves! There is a section of King's famous "I have a Dream" speech embedded in the piece.

Unless I'm mistaken, Supertramp's "A Soapbox Opera" (from the Crisis? What Crisis? album) also has a MLK sample at the very beginning before Roger Hodgson's vocal begins.

^^ I'm pleased we're on the same page, Cristi... whether it's the correct one or not, we are yet to find out!

well, the OP gave out some clues to what he was looking for, various suggestions have been posted but he hasn't returned to the thread yet to say which is the one he was looking for?
