Alice Di Micele - Death Don’t Have No Mercy

3. Death Don’t Have No Mercy. Rev. Gary Davis - Downtown Dij Songs o/b/o Budde Music Inc.

I first heard this song late at night sometime around 1981 or so while growing up in New Jersey listening to WFUV. The song struck me deeply and reminded me of the loss of my God Mother/ Great Aunt who had passed when I was 9. It is still the first song I lean on when experiencing loss and when my dear friend/ ex-manager/ and Chico, California concert producer Steve Schuman passed away suddenly, I decided it was time to record it.
