Few, if any, of the towering figures of the twentieth century inspired
as many people, or as many songs, as Nelson Mandela. Artists of all
genres and stripes found different ways to pay tribute to Mandela as he
served twenty-seven years in prison before emerging to lead his country
into a peaceful transition to majority rule. As the world mourns the
loss of Mandela, 95, here are ten of my favorites presented in tribute.
