Official audio for Bob and Marcia's seminal hit version of '(To Be) Young Gifted and Black' from 1970

Young, gifted and black!
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean
In the whole world you know
There’s a million boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
And that's a fact!
Young, gifted and black!
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
When you feeling real low
Yeah, there's a great truth you should know
To be young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact!
Oh, young, young, gifted and black!
How I long to know the truth
There were times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth
Ah, but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it's at!
Young, gifted and black!
