Short story:

The Staple Singers perform at their local parish, New Nazareth Church, Chicago, Illinois, USA. The event is a service inspired by the Alabama marches. In a spirit-filled set that runs from Civil Rights anthems (We Shall Overcome) to traditional gospel (When The Saints Go Marching In), The Staple Singers introduce their own original material, including the just-composed Freedom Highway. The concert is recorded and will, eventually, be released as Freedom Highway Complete - Recorded Live at Chicago's New Nazareth Church.
