Yes, Fisk University is an historically black college, the first hbcu to receive full accredidation. I also know this: the reason Nashville is referred to as "Music City USA" is because after an 1873 concert where the Fisk Jubilee Singers sang for Queen Victoria in Buckingham Palace, she proclaimed, "these young people must surely come from a musical city," hence the long-standing title for Nashville, "Music City."

k.d. would have blown them all off the stage. they had better keep her in the background. She could have cared less, she's modest but had to have known they couldn't hold a candle to her. 100 years from now, she'll be one of the few remembered.

it's an 80's country tour package that kd lang was part of - each performer did a song and at the end, they all came out and did a number. I've posted kd's solo performance and duet with Rosanne Cash on a separate video

I don't know about the college. kd is from Alberta Canada, and given that she's a lesbian and a pantheist, it's not very likely that she's racist - I've never even heard that suggested before.

theyre all a bunch of haters.they wouldnt even let k.d. in on the songs for lead vocal/duet.her voice is way too powerful for country music.prolly all homophobes there :)

I always buy the deluxe version of any cd although, I think her best is an earlier one - Shadowland and Hymns of the 49th Parallel
