Azizi, there are a lot of wonderful Miriam Makeba videos here. but unfortunately not this one.

I had the thrill of seeing and hearing Miriam about 5 years ago at one of our Zoo concerts. Her granddaughter peformed with her on some songs too. And I spent many an evening listening to this album -- the one with Can't Cross The Water -- my first summer in Greenwich Village (1962). I was a starving student and all I could afford was about 4 albums: Miriam Makeba, The Freewheeling Bob Dylan, one of Joan Baez's first albums, and Miles Davis's "Sketches Of Spain." The only reason I didn't learn more of Miriam's songs was that I couldn't pronounce some of the Xhosa sounds. LOL (Fortunately, this song doesn't require that.)

Q, I thought Jester Hairston wrote Mary's Boy Child (or arranged it based on a trad song). Did he co-write it with Irving Burgie?
