Greatest Song Came Out of March on Washington--and Dylan

As I've posted and tweeted before, I consider Sam Cooke's "Change Is Gonna Come" the greatest song of our era.  Rolling Stone calls "Like a Rolling Stone" the greatest single and I list Dylan's Highway 61 as the greatest album.  Now how does this sort of fit together? It's still little known that Sam Cooke's response to Bob's "Blowin' in the Wind" becoming the new anthem of the civil rights movement--as it was enshrined at the March on Washington fifty years ago, via Peter, Paul and Mary--was to 1) record it himself  2) determine that a black writer should pen such an anthem himself or herself.  So he wrote "Change Is Gonna Come," inspired you might say by Dylan.   Here's Sam and below that the Peter, Paul and Mary performance at the march.
