Abbey and Max Roach, 1962
“I started out being a sexy young thing in a Marilyn Monroe dress,” she told The New York Times in 2000, “and Max Roach freed me from that.”

When I’m called home
I will bring a book
That tells of strange and funny turns
And of the heart it took
To keep on living in a world that never was my own
A world of haunted memories of other worlds unknown
—Abbey Lincoln’s lyric to “When I’m Called Home”
