BREAD AND ROSES
Created on 01/08/2022Latest update on 17/07/2023
Artist: Judy Collins
Author: James Oppenheim/Mimi Farina
Label: Elektra
Year: 1976
Lyrics were a poem by Oppenheim, published in 1911 and inspired by suffragette Helen Todd who ended a political speech with the words: Bread for all, and roses too. First scored by Caroline Kohlsaat in 1917, a version apparently never recorded. Sing Out! published the sheetmusic in '52 and that's how Mimi Farina got involved, adding her own music.
