46664 #mandela

As the world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela many are making lists of their favorite songs about him in tribute and I will join them.

46664 was Nelson Mandela’s prison number for over 25 years.

U2, long champions of social justice, contributed “Ordinary Love” to the soundtrack of “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom”

The Specials composed this song with a straight forward message while Mandela was still in prison
