Nina Simone version is pretty good also.
One of the soundtracks of my childhood was Aretha Franklin’s version of ‘Young, Gifted and Black.’ It was about being told you can do anything you want to do. I want all children to grow up with that mindset.pic.twitter.com/7siRu0qiiW

One of my favorite recordings of all time. The Queen took it to another level from the genius Nina Simone. And I agree completely on the message
