Fabulous hit which had originally been released in the U.S. in the fall of 1967. Miriam Makeba also was signed to Frank Sinatra's own Reprise Records when this hit originally broke out that year. Also, Miriam Makeba was married to the great trumpeter Hugh Masekela, who came out with his first U.S. million-selling smash hit in the spring of 1968, "Grazin' In The Grass."

Really GREAT to see. She was banned from South Africa, moved to New York, and, I believe, she was married to American activist Stokely Carmichael at this time.

The first time i watch this video and Mirian, from my times when i was a teenager, great time, in the 70s i listen this song.

[TheSecurityCamChannel]

I was around 8 or 9 when this song was a hit. I think children enjoyed this song more than the adults.

Ed featured a diverse set of performers when that wasn’t so common
