Freedom Highway is a 1965 album by The Staple Singers (Epic LN24163/ BN26163). The title song referred to the murder of Emmett Till at Tallahatchie River. The lyrics begin March up freedom's highway, March, each and every day. and continue Made up my mind, And I won't turn around.

Originally released on Epic in 1965 as a live in-church session, Legacy's 1991 reissue of Freedom Highway includes two of the original LP tracks supplemented by some truly spirited late-'60s Epic recordings. Despite the glaring omissions, Freedom Highway never feels like a hastily thrown-together compilation.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). I have always enjoyed the Staple Singers music, and this CD, Freedom Highway, brings back loving memories. When I was much younger, my late aunt would come home from work in the evenings, and this would be the first record she played. She would sing and clap to the music and have me singing and clapping, too.
