A little Paul Robeson

I am a tenor and so I can listen to Paul Robeson without envy but merely with awe.

First, Old Man River


THen, Gloomy Sunday



And finally, fittingly I think .. Let My People Go



Paul Robeson has always been a personal hero of mine. Not merely because he was possessed of an amazing voice but because he risked everything for his political views. One does not have to agree with him to see him as a great man.
