Sharon Lafaye Jones (May 4, 1956 November 18, 2016) was an American soul and funk singer. She was the lead singer of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, a soul and funk band based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] Jones experienced breakthrough success relatively late in life,[2] releasing her first record when she was 40 years old.[3] In 2014, Jones was nominated for her first Grammy, in the category Best R&B Album, for Give the People What They Want.[4][5]
...Snip...
During the screening of her documentary at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival,[34] Jones revealed that her cancer had returned,[35] and that she would be undergoing chemotherapy again.[36] She suffered a stroke while watching the 2016 United States presidential election results and another the following day.[37] Jones remained alert and lucid during the initial period of her hospital stay, jokingly claiming that the news of Donald Trump's victory was responsible for her stroke.[38][39]

There is a live version of This Land is Your Land at the Cafe Corsari on Youtube.
Sorry, I don't know how to get it posted but you can see it there. She sings it in a gold sparkly dress with matching shoes. Epic.

(22,735 posts)But you didn't have to delete on my account. I remember this song from the hootenanny days of the sixties. It is so nice to be able to remember a time when neighborhoods had gatherings to sing songs of patriotic peace and revolution. I miss those days.

We both became lifelong fans by the end of the 1st set.
This is my favorite version - from a French TV appearance in April 2010
