Irish songstress Sinead O’Connor is paying tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement with a cover of Mahalia Jackson’s gospel classic “Trouble Of The World”.
O’Connor was drawn to the song — written and recorded by the American gospel singer in 1959 — following the death of George Floyd. “I was very moved that when George Floyd died he was calling for his mother and, as a result, there sprang up a movement of other mothers around America; they were in the streets with placards saying, ‘When George Floyd called for his mama, he cried for all mamas,'” she tells Rolling Stone.
All proceeds from the song are being donated to various BLM charities. RELATED: Alicia Keys Talks Confidence, Black Lives Matter & Breonna Taylor: ‘There Is No Justice’
