Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free. From her 1967 Silk & Soul album.

From Wikipedia: “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free”, was written by Billy Taylor and first recorded by Nina Simone. It was later recorded by Solomon Burke, Ray Charles and Levon Helm, and can be regarded as a civil rights anthem.

Wow, gotta look up those cover versions!
