Marva Whitney - I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Live at the Boston Garden, Apr 5, 1968)

Marva Whitney performing "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" during the James Brown concert at the Boston Garden, on April 5, 1968.

The concert became a thing of legend. Only 24 hours earlier civil rights activist Dr Martin Luther King had been assassinated resulting in widespread violence across the United States. The mayor of Boston was persuaded to let the concert go ahead and it was broadcast live across the city by WGBH-TV. Featuring inspiring speeches and legendary performances, James Brown’s concert is said to have contributed majorly to maintaining calm and peace throughout the city that night.

Seen here for the first time fully remastered and restored.
