Thread Name: Stories about Paul Robeson
Subject: RE: Stories about Paul Robeson
" Now if he had shut up and behaved like a good little boy, maybe he would be a household name."

In our home, Paul Robeson was a household name.
Every Sunday, my father played his recordings, and talked about the unfair treatment that Paul received.

LadyJean, whenever I hear that deep voice I "fall in" too and I'm still moved to tears when I listen to Paul Robeson singinging Dere's a Man Goin' Round. (Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, 1954, Columbia Records).
