I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
"I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" is a gospel/jazz song written by Billy Taylor and "Dick Dallas", best known for the recording by Nina Simone in 1967 on her Silk & Soul album. Billy Taylor's original version (as "I Wish I Knew") was recorded on November 12, 1963, and released on his Right Here, Right Now album (Capitol ST-2039) the following year. His 1967 instrumental take was later used as the theme music for the Film programme series on BBC television. The melody is possibly an interpretation of "Hymn to Freedom," written by Oscar Peterson for his 1963 album Night Train.
