Robeson could sing as well asw dance

I only knew Paul Robeson from what I think was the early Shirley Temple movies. I didn't know he could sing so well until I saw an old version version of Kern's Showboat and Robeson's "Ole Man River". His voice is distinctive, not American nor African I great voice! September 8, 2008

Robeson's performances survive him

This album was recorded 1928 to 1939 and is republished by EMI. Except for the orchestrations (which are dated), the performances by Paul Robeson are current and fresh as ever. There is nothing in the content of the lyrics to indicate an origin of slavery or anything having to do with black stereotyping. Robeson has a rich, bass voice and he enunciates well. There are 20 numbers on this album and Robeson carries all of them well. In addition to Ol' Man River, there are St. Louis Blues, All Through the Night, Song of the Volga Boatman, and Dear Old Southland.

This is a valuable piece of American history and it's too bad the ultimate Paul Robeson couldn't have been recorded in latter decades with more modern equipment and arrangements. May 29, 2003
