Grammy-Winning Artist Ben Williams shares Powerful Rendition Of “We Shall Overcome” For MLK Day

“Instead of just lashing out, I wanted to turn the mirror on us and show the world the complexity of our humanity as Black American men. I wanted to discuss how we process our daily lives – mentally and spiritually.” - Ben Williams

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, acclaimed Grammy-winning bassist, composer and bandleader Ben Williams today shared his powerful rendition of the civil rights classic "We Shall Overcome" via Billboard. With Frank Ocean-esque R&B production and a world class band, the track is a unifying call of the moment that grounds us in history, present, and a continuously hopeful future. It follows first soulful single If You Hear Me from his upcoming album I AM A MAN, out February 7, 2020 on Rainbow Blonde Records. The title is a reference to picket signs held during Memphis’ historic 1968 African American sanitation workers’ strike and is Williams’ most poignant, sociopolitical statement yet.
