I’m a white guy, but this song genuinely brings a tear to my eye, mostly because of the injustices that were around at the time & how important those lyrics were. There is something magical in the way this version is sung by Bob & Marcia, the perfect blending of the voices, the magnificent vibrato in the voice of Bob, but mostly it is the authenticity of what it means and the way the song is presented by the artists. It is a thing of beauty and one of my top 5 songs of all time … all the more surprising because I am a Rock fan, but this song is very special indeed.

As a white guy whose gifts are somewhat limited, I think this is a such an uplifting tune. Always liked it. It's in my personal top ten of favourite pop songs. I was only ten in 1970 when this was in the charts so, I was able to claim the 'young' part of the song once. Sadly no longer.

Always really liked this reggae string and drum arrangement, each verse being a variation on a theme. That tune could have got a bit repetitive, but the clever arranging kept the song fresh all the way through. It received a lot of plays on UK radio when it first came out, and was a favourite disco dance song. Seemed to do quite a lot better here in the UK than it did Stateside.

i,m 70 yrs old and white and was born in tredworth gloucester and was amongst alot of jamaican,s and african,s and of course alot of white,s as well and growing up i did not experience any racism what so ever. i did,nt even notice skin colour differences.there,s good and bad in every race no matter what your colour. over the years i have worked with some black carpenters and we used to joke with each other and the irish we got on great. people who are racists need to fucking grow up and see the good in people instead of listening to ignorant bastards and makeup there own minds. in more recent years i have worked with quite a few bulgarians and i found them good blokes aswell Speak as you find, thats what i say.And as far as Black music is concerned its Fucking GREAT ! Young gifted and black is a great song and i like the sentiment of the song ! Quite simply there is a lot of young gifted and black people , equally with all other skin colours to .I like them all. its a pity more people don,t try and get on with each other, life to short. kind regards to all of you , Rob from gloucester
