Beautiful! I bet she never imagined being on youtube, They didn't even know what a Youtube was. How times have changed indeed...

[aussiechickdiana]

A very courageous woman...and, in spite of her times... forged ahead and honoured her gift. And now, we hear her...wow!

@Jokersbell If Africans & African Americans don't have spirits whites like you & whites + a little Native American & Whites + a little Italian & Whites + a little Asian & Whites + a little... ad infinitum do not have spirits. So I guess every human being on the planet including you (& me) must be "Zombies..."

[krwoods125]

@buenavozalasdoce Don't waste your time with 'jokersbell'. That name says it all. Plus, the number of likes vs dislikes speaks for itself. People like that hate themselves and therefore have no knowledge to tolerate other races...

[buenavozalasdoce]

@krwoods125 There is only one race. The Human Race!

[Palmurcio]

what a voice! gave me chills

[cengizturan560]

[zezt]

Sublime

[pinturner]

Bravissimo, dear Marian!

[djdrizzae]

I could listen to this over & over again! Thank God for Marian Anderson! A true groundbreaker!

[JennaGwenna]

When i read that as Marian was auditioning to study with her vocal coach, she sang this, and he cried. I didn't understand how anything could be that moving.

Then i listened to this. I understand now, and Marian, you made me cry too.

[iraleecantellia]

I'm not a fan of opera, but this song is chilling.

[Nagennif1011]

Deep River is hardly opera.

[ApostlesoYahwehUnite]

This is the best version of Deep River I've ever heard! I love Jesus.

[McGravity1]

Did she ever sing with Paul Robeson?

[PianoTuningLover]

Lady Marian, pray for us!

[gustoROY1]

She rocks she is a great singer

[kangofaug706]

well done madame!

[Chesterbarnes1]

She was a real lady and a tremendous vocalist. God Bless her memory

[44okiru44]

i dont find anything special in this song and this voice

[bellacantatrice]

This is just so incredible. What a voice, what an artist, and what a woman!

[WANGTINGLE]

wow... I  love Marian Aderson!!! XD

[Lactoris1]

Marian Anderson always seems to have excellent accompanists and cooperating performers. She deserves credit for planning her programs in this way, in addition to her own spuerb work

[vonvamp21]

she shows so much emotion in her songs they are the water that runs down so smoothly in the stream .............her songs show a great meaning to many people

[starstruckidd]

I am very pleased to learn that even in slavery Black Americans displayed such a high level of sophistication and equality to the whites ...How could people demote the state of being when clearly we are one in the same.... Please Black People 86 this bullshit rap and contiue to display a high integrity of being ......

[musicfanBRA]

@starstruckidd - At that time slavery had already been abolished, but the prejudice remained strong. Marian Anderson did many acts of courage and defiance. In 1939 when black musicians could not perform in regular theaters she gave an open air concert at the Lincoln Memorial attended by thousands.

[dongerstwin1]

I don't think I have words to describe what I just heard. What a blessing God gave us in Marion Anderson. Thank Onegin65 for posting this video.

[DerMeister2007]

Incredible singing! Klasse

[davidjock77]

Her concert was a huge step forward for the still enslaved black people in this country. Demonstrable EXCELLENCE was not an attribute commonly associated with the still-downtrodden negroes. She broke major ground on that one.

[starstruckidd]

work bitch okay???

[gangstakim07]

classic!!!! I hear her soul.... she had so much emotion behind her music!

[ejcullack17]

she has such an amazing voice!!!! I love it!!!!!

[stevevandien]

One of the most extraordinary voices and interpreters that America has produced.

[kenndogg]

wut a contralto!!!!!

[justinian693]

My childhood piano teacher told me that she heard her in recital in the 30s. and that it was perfection.

[mirarte2002]

Su voz es un placer.

Beautiful song!

[Tinamusicreggaeluv]

Today is actually the first time If heard Marian Anderson sing .. In my scholastic past I've read many books on Anderson but never heard her. I was watching a documentry on her life in music class just hearing her speak at an elderly age gave my body a chill

[Something5802]

First time hearing Marian Anderson. I wish I was alive back then to hear it live. It's so beautiful - true singing.

[adpettif]

I like it best when she sings this song, soo beautiful.

[jeffchester]

Listen Miss Anderson always is a great experience, not only by her song also why it has behind. God blesses her

[hswatnik]

Sure enjoyed this clip, Thank you-

[paulostroff99]

Beautifully sung! Brava!
