The Band - A Change Is Gonna Come

Just to keep this thread going a little longer...here is the Band's version of "A Change is Gonna Come." They were a working bar band when this song was on the charts, so they would have learned it for the same reason they learned any other song--so that they could play what the audience wanted to hear. But years later at the height of their fame, they recorded an album of covers, and picked their favorites from their early years. Obviously this was one that had stuck with them, and they used it to close the LP.
