Talk:If You Miss Me at the Back of the Bus

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because... (If You Miss me at the Back of the Bus was a prominent song in the 1960s. Voices of the Civil Rights Movement: Black American Freedom Songs 1960-1966 Various Artists SFW40084

This double-CD reissue documents a central aspect of the cultural environment of the Civil Rights Movement, acknowledging songs as the language that focused people's energy. These 43 tracks are a series of musical images, of a people in conversation about their determination to be free. Many of the songs were recorded live in mass meetings held in churches, where people from different life experiences, predominantly black, with a few white supporters, came together in a common struggle. These freedom songs draw from spirituals, gospel, rhythm and blues, football chants, blues and calypso forms. The enclosed booklet written by Bernice Johnson Reagon provides rare historic photographs along with the powerful story of African American musical culture and its role in the Civil Rights Movement.

Furthermore, we have all the information about the artist, the song title, the copyright date and the record company.

That's fine, but you need to write the article as...well, you know, an article, and not just a hopelessly confused version of the lyrics without any explanation of what they are. Also, see WP:MOS for help on style. Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 01:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
