Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968, performer Nina Simone and her band played at the Westbury Music Festival on Long Island, N.Y. \n\nThey performed \"Why? (The King of Love is Dead),\" a song they had just learned, written by their bass player Gene Taylor in reaction to King's death.\n\n‘We learned that song that (same) day,\" says Waymon. \"We didn't have a chance to have two or three days of rehearsal. But when you're feeling compassion and outrage and wanting to express what you know the world is feeling, we did it because that's what we felt.’”\n\nhttps://www.npr.org/2008/04/06/89418339/why-remembering-nina-simones-tribute-to-the-rev-martin-luther-king-jr",
