I Have A Dream

**masterblaster** · 03-03-2016, 10:15 AM

In 1963, the Liz Lands single "We Shall Overcome" was scheduled for release on the Divinity label [[99008) but was shelved and re-allocated to Gordy 7023 in 1968 with Dr Kings "I Have A Dream"on the flip side.
However, on the Complete Motown Singles Collection vol 8 1968 the single is not included [[ the A side is on volume 3).
Has the Dr King speech been overlooked on vol 8 or was it omitted for other reasons.

I think it was omitted because it is owned by the King estate. But I don't have the set in front of me to confirm. I believe it was mentioned in the set's notes.

I second that emotion. That is what I believe also and I have read this in other places, I think.

Thanks for that, it is mentioned at the end of 'The Songs' section of volume 8. It is a pity it wasn't included as I would have loved to have heard it.

I recently discovered that on 12/31/1986 Motown issued a CD by Rev. Martin Luther King [[catalog number Gordy GCD) 6220 GD) with the title His Great Speeches in Their Original and Complete Form. Does anyone have this CD and can they tell us what was included in it?

Wow, this might be one of the only one of these in existence. I have never seen one for sale or listed before.

Carole - would you be kind enough to show a picture of the front of the CD? I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.
