My name is Ed Williams and I've been asked to introduce Miss Simone to you this evening
That for me is a pleasure, I'd like to welcome you
I'd like to introduce the men in the group
The drums, Don Alias
On one guitar Emile Latimer
On the other guitar, Tom Smith
On the congas drums, Jumma
And on the organ, lyricist, composer Weldon Irvine
If you know truth, respect truth and not affraid of it
You can sit at the welcoming table
Langston Hughes
"That justice is a blind goddess
Is a thing to which we black are wise
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes"
The high priestess of soul, Miss Nina Simone
