I clearly remember my awe when I first heard the protest song &#8220;Free Nelson Mandela&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Free_Nelson_Mandela\" target=\"_blank\">the Special AKA<\/a> in 1984.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AgcTvoWjZJU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>That song educated me about South Africa the way Neil Young&#8217;s &#8220;Ohio&#8221; enlightened me about Vietnam. You can learn more about &#8220;Free Nelson Mandela&#8221; from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbcamerica.com\/anglophenia\/2013\/06\/nelson-mandela-and-the-most-potent-protest-song-ever-recorded\/\" target=\"_blank\">this June BBC America post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another song that has always stuck with me is 1985&#8217;s &#8220;Sun City,&#8221; written by Steven Van Zandt (Little Steven of Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s E Street Band) and performed by a group of musicians under the name Artists United Against Apartheid. The song declared the musicians&#8217; intent to avoid performing at South Africa&#8217;s Sun City resort, which was then located in an &#8220;independent state&#8221; that the apartheid government created for a forcible relocation of blacks. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/lists\/100-best-albums-of-the-eighties-20110418\/artists-united-against-apartheid-sun-city-20110330\" target=\"_blank\">Rolling Stone has called the song<\/a> &#8220;one of the most fervent and forceful political statements to emerge from Eighties pop music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aopKk56jM-I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still blown away by the eclectic group of musicians who participated on the songs. A partial list includes: Springsteen, Miles Davis, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Bob Dylan, Pat Benatar, Herbie Hancock, Ringo Starr, Lou Reed, Run\u2013D.M.C., Peter Gabriel, Bob Geldof and Bono (can&#8217;t keep those guys away from an &#8217;80s cause song!), Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, The Fat Boys, Jackson Browne, George Clinton, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, Bonnie Raitt, Hall &#038; Oates, Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys, Gil-Scott Heron, Nona Hendryx, and Joey Ramone. Incredible! You&#8217;ve got a Beatle, two Stones, a jazz giant, a folk hero, many of hip-hop&#8217;s legendary innovators, punks, a blues queen, the hottest female pop star (Pat!), and &#8230; well, I don&#8217;t know how to describe Hall &#038; Oates.<\/p>\n<p>Mandela inspired numerous other songs &#8212; you can hear some of those on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/mixed-media\/2013\/06\/9-songs-nelson-mandela\" target=\"_blank\">Mother Jones<\/a> &#8212; but these two had the most profound effect on me.
