In 1948, a plane carrying 32 passengers crashed in the Los Gatos Canyon, California killing everyone on board. The media, including the New York Times, listed the names of the pilots, the flight attendant and the immigration guard but all 28 of the migrant workers (braceros) were labeled as deportees. This angered folk singer Woody Gutherie who wrote a poem about the crash. Almost ten years later, school teacher Martin Hoffman composed a melody to Gutherie's poem and that song became well known with covers by the likes of Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and many more.
Around 2010 Central Valley writer Tim Z. Hernandez discovered the story and soon began a project of finding the names and surviving relatives. Soon after musician Lance Canales joined the journey and composed his own version of the legendary song with Hernandez reading all the names of the deceased workers. Thanks to a fundraiser spearheaded by the two artist a new head stone has been built in the Holy Cross honoring all 32 passengers.

I listen to recordings of Mandarin Chinese lessons and conversations. Not music. I seriously doubt that listening to music would help anyone think outside the box as suggested by the opening title of this thread. Actually, I doubt you could do anything to stimulate cross linear, non-linear,spherical, left vs right brain thinking.
I suspect that after you graduate through a typical school system, something in your brain dies forever and there's no going back. LOL!
"Mary, Don't You Weep" is from the 1972 album "Amazing Grace" by Aretha Franklin.
It ultimately sold over two million copies in the United States alone, earning a Double Platinum certification. As of 2010 it is also the biggest selling disc of Aretha's entire fifty year recording career. The double album was recorded 'Live' at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles during January of 1972. It won the 1972 Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance and also stands as the biggest selling pure Gospel album in history.
A film documenting the making of the album is set to be released in 2010.
Personnel featured on the recording:
Aretha Franklin - vocals, piano
Chuck Rainey - bass
Cornell Dupree - guitar
Kenneth Lupper - organ
Pancho Morales - percussion, conga
Bernard "Pretty" Purdie - drums
Southern California Community Choir - background vocals
I've been learning drums the past 2 years or so, and this video of Bernard Purdie teaching how to do the "Purdie Shuffle" is about the most joyful, uplifting video I've found on youtube. For a while I'd watch this near daily as a pickmeup. He is one happy man, and a great drummer.
