[edit] Rendition on The Tonight Show
I recently contacted Johnny Carson's people and asked if the performance of "A Change Is Gonna Come" still survived, but according to a Carson archivist, Sam never the sung. I'm certain I was right about the date, I just checked it against this article and Peter Guralnick's biography. It's the same date. I wonder who is correct?

[edit] Malcolm X
We read: Though the song was featured prominently in the 1992 film Malcolm X, it could not be included in the film's soundtrack.
Perhaps merely because I haven't seen the film, this makes no sense to me. (The second half seems to contradict the first half.) Guesses:
- Although the song is discussed within the 1992 film Malcolm X, it is never heard within the film.
- Although the song is featured prominently in the 1992 film Malcolm X, it could not be included on the soundtrack CD.
Note: The latter is correct. The song was featured in the film; however, it could not be released on the film soundtrack because of licensing issues. Hoary 05:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Reasons for GA Delisting
This article's GA status has been revoked because it fails criterion 2. b. of 'What is a Good Article?', which states;
-
- (b) the citation of its sources using inline citations is required (this criterion is disputed by editors on Physics and Mathematics pages who have proposed a subject-specific guideline on citation, as well as some other editors — see talk page).
