In these times of coronavirus lockdown here's a song of hope. A superb cover of the Donny Hathaway's 1973 classic performed by Chance Hayden (guitar) and the class act Jarrod Lawson. It is taken from Chance Hayden's 2018 album Get Somethin' available on BandCamp. Chance Hayden played guitar of Lawson's 'Live At The BBC' EP on Dome in 2014.
I've taken the opportunity of posting several other versions including Hathaway's original and a live version by Stevie Wonder, along with 'the governor' Bobby Womack, American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, Harvey Mason, Park Place Feat. Donnie Williams, a live version by Jennifer Hudson @ The Whitehouse, a short clip of Teena Marie live in San Diego, Corrine Bailey Rae & Jon Batiste and Alicia Keys.

Harvey Mason [1982] - Someday We'll All Be Free [Alfa ALR-28039]
From 1982 album Stone Mason which appears to have been only released in Japan. This track features vocals of Stephanie Spruill who released 2 good 45s with Roger Sainte as Suff 'n' Ramjett in 1975 (which I'll feature in another post) and then went on to form Saint & Stephanie releasing an album and 4 45s in 1979 on Arista which were sadly very disco oriented.
