These performances aren't old, but the songs have been around a long time. The first one was a classic from Les Miserables. Patti LaBelle and Michael McDowell are amazing in this rendition, Both performances were done on opposite coasts, but the flats were both set up with the same decor to cement the connection.
The next one also goes back a long ways. I remember when Sam Cooke sang this one. Brian Owens and his father's cover of a classic. Every time I hear it, the tears flow. Over 70+ years, and still remember what this life has been like. We never completely forget our roots. No matter how successful you become, people still look down their noses at you, and you're still waiting for that change.
