One (Mary J Blige w U2)

Classic U2 redone with MJB's "powerful" voice and equal conviction to the original. Again, headphones preferred.
There's another blog in this about the African American story as THE story of living American. But, I will offer only a short comment on this great song. Note the credibility of the Irish U2 and the Black American R&B rooted Mary J Blige. Then how the art in the song, the music and lyric gets us to something authentic. And that is what we need.
