Yes that's the very track I have had on tape for many years. Watching that video brought tears to my eyes. What the world has lost!

Does anyone know the artists on that original track, and where and when it was recorded?

"Nelson Mandela's...." is on Douglas's 2007 CD "A Summer in Skye," however I first heard it on the Narada "Brave Hearts" compilation CD from 1998.

I can't find any detailed track info from Douglas's site, unfortunately: http://www.blairdouglas.co.uk/
