@ruthestherpark i stole the album from the magazine not too long ago every song is a classic in its own way i think most artists are forgotten gems especially jesus blood.
Here on You Tube, look for 'Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall'. Odetta and Belafonte do some work together on it. The Album is still available on Amazon I believe. What Soul huh ?.. World needs this type music again..Healing..
there MUST be some of Belafontes TV-show with Odetta and others in the late 50th, which was highly recommended. Id hope to see some of them before - as Belafonte said - "I leave the good earth"
Yes, there were many tv shows with dear Harry, but taping them was not always standard in the 50's. Many 60's shows were not taped, either. You have given me a search mission. Thanks!
Yes, Claudia!...I don't why this aquatically- challenged musical plea gets me every time. Please do come to Anne's and my eponymous song site with a canteen and a comment. We're getting a mite dehydrated here in Southern California, especially in Palos Verdes. And it doesn't look like Governor Arnold's going to give us a reprieve anytime soon!. Seriously, thanks so much for posting this Belafonte classic! Cordially, John
This was mentioned on NPR a few weeks ago and was my introduction to this song. Thanks for sharing!
