The brilliant Barbara Dane and The Chambers Brothers. Enjoy:
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€

Great song R.K. I've never heard of it or the singers. My sheltered life. She sounds like she would have a fantastic voice for Jazz as well as folk or gospel.

This instantly reminded me of Lou Reed's song "A Perfect Day" that the BBC made for a promo decades ago - and which has a shitload of famous stars performing on it. I guess Lou Reed knew the Barbara Dane song and used it in his?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14

She did in fact record at least one jazz album - Livin' with the Blues - which featured the great Earl Hines and Benny Carter. It was an enjoyable record, though maybe not among her very best work. She was more suited to singing folk/blues material in my opinion. Here is another great song from her record with The Chambers Brothers: You can listen to all of Livin' with the Blues here:

Correction: her wiki page suggests that she has actually recorded a few jazz albums:
