“The world needs more people like Barbara, someone who is willing to follow her conscience. She is, if the term must be used, a hero.”
—Bob Dylan

“Ms. Dane often said that she saw music as fuel for social change, not personal fame.”
—The New York Times

“A powerhouse singer who moved effortlessly between traditional New Orleans jazz, Chicago blues, international protest anthems, gospel, and folk ballads”
—The San Francisco Chronicle
