And having discovered The Player's Union - a 'production and DJ collective' from Manchester, UK - why don't we immediately listen to another of their great edits. This is their take on Lenny Kravitz's "Black and White America", originally from Kravitz's 2011 album of the same name.
"Black And White America"
Martin Luther King, he had a vision
And that's a fact
He died so we could see that was his mission
So don't look back
There is no division, don't you understand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
In nineteen sixty three my father married
A black woman
And when they walked the street they were in danger
Look what you've done
But they just kept on walking forward hand in hand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
We've waited so long
We've waited so long
There is no division, don't you understand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
And that's a fact
He died so we could see that was his mission
So don't look back
There is no division, don't you understand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
In nineteen sixty three my father married
A black woman
And when they walked the street they were in danger
Look what you've done
But they just kept on walking forward hand in hand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
We've waited so long
We've waited so long
There is no division, don't you understand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America
Music and lyrics by L. Kravitz and C. Ross
