Almost people love music. Music with social message regarding the social consciousness is always effective. It spreads consciousness so easily among the people. It bears positive effect.
Marian Anderson's song "My country Tos of thee" is really an appealing song by an African American and in the perspective of racism the song is no doubt very appealing. The artist was greatly praised by all and the song helped to eradicate the discrimination from the nation and it appeals people to invoke development and harmony.
Such types of songs are also successful from the commercial point of view. These types of song are greatly favored by the people. They help as inspiration to the people to change.
It can never be expected that a song can alone change the society and mentality of the people. But it again and again hits the conscience of the people.
