Ruthie Gorton is a Los Angeles based "movement singer" who has performed around the country since the civil rights movement. She sings acapella, that is, without accompaniment, about a variety of social issues and movements in the U.S. and abroad. In this program, Ruthie sings her own songs. Produced at KPFA by Ed Schoenfeld.
Note on label: "Not self-contained. Great material/music. There is no intro or outro, therefore, the tape is not self-contained. There are spaces (not overly long) between songs, and several short intros to specific songs. Tape description above can be used as intro."
