Thread Name: Paul Robeson
Subject: RE: Paul Robeson
It'd be a shame if his recordings aren't available anymore. He was a man of all kinds of talents and faults, but his incredible voice and love of his music should never be forgotten. Whenever my choir leaders want us (EXTREMELY white) choristers to sing some song in African American vernacular, I always object, because Robeson sang the traditional sogs with such superb diction.
