"None of Us Are Free" is a rhythm and blues song written by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, and Brenda Russell in 1993. The song was first recorded by Ray Charles for his 1993 album '' My World'', but it received relatively little attention at that time. Noting that it is one of five "socially-conscious songs on the album," a review in '' Jet'' described the song as "a piece that talks about the need for all people to get to know each other" and quotes Charles: "Music is powerful. As people listen to it, they can be affected. They respond. But when I was doing this album I wasn't trying to create an overall message. It just turned out that we got some songs that had something to say." In ''Ebony'', Lynn Norment said this "catchy" song, and another album track, "One Drop of Love", "deliver pertinent social messages." ''Billboard'' writer Timothy White called the song as "a hard-rolling exhortation ... that deserves to be a multiformat radio anthem for these morally faltering times." Charles ...
