Ol man river

[dramakid4ever]

this is one of my favorite versions, the poor quality of the sound really takes away from how powerful Caleb Peterson's voice actually is...still thank you for the upload could listen to this version a million times

[bettydaw1970]

this is damm good too!!!

[youfilha]

I want so bad to know the name of this song, and I also found out on Family Guy.

[Adventchild8]

@youfilha it's called old man river

[mslovey]

baritone at its best

[mikiroony]

Indeed a powerful version, very lyrical.

I however would prefer one of the stand-alones, where the baritone can really shine by himself. This is good, tho, it's good.

No exactamente del film, Show Boat es una obra musical presentada en Broadway en la década de 1920 y escrita por Jerome Kern. Posteriormente Hollywood la adoptó.

i love the voices behind him! beautiful. i can imagine what it was like to hear them live!

Caleb Peterson is the name of the actor playing Joe in this clip. (I wonder if that is his singing voice or if he was dubbed. Mr. Peterson's other credits are all as an actor, none as a singer.)

[markhh]

This is from the MGM Technicolor musical biopic of Jerome Kern called "Till the Clouds Roll By". The movie features a lengthy "Show Boat" sequence which was in some ways a dry run for the complete 1950 MGM film of "Show Boat".

William Warfield singing "Old Man River" was much better in the 1950 movie, but Lena Horne's contributions as Julie in "Clouds" are greatly missed in the later film.

Some weird comments

[dshizzlex2]

this song is perfect for deep voiced black cotton field hand in the deep south in the late 1800's!!

[Blingmonkey1101]

i went to see this play. but it was a bad version. just to put it frankly. it should not be seem by little children or if u dont want to be scared for life. the version i saw was the one that sucked.

[mslovey]

NONE BETTER THE MR ROBESON.

[mslovey]

wgat a voice never has been matched.

I heard a wonderful version by Al Jolson.

[lwzdo05]

Judy Garland does it good too .Check it out!

[polkadotbox2]

This song is a timeless gem. This version, like all of them, is beautiful. Another great version is the 1945 recording by Frank Sinatra. I get shivers each time I hear this wonderful tune.

Rofl I love this song it's so funny xD

[kaelta81]

very good almost as good as original Robeson

version will always be the mark that will not be beat

[Dhbrydon]

Nice try, BUT no one EVER sang it like Paul Robeson, it was his song

[madamerotten]

@Dhbrydon I so agree with you!

[Ritzounett]

It's very sad I think.

[bassodivo]

for those who are interested, i just posted a video of me rehearsing this song. you'll see me in a black cutoff shirt singing in my house

[23annmarie]

brilliant my mum loves this song and no 1 can sing it like him

[zaaritha]

Is this the original?

[Warcorpse666]

No check out 1935 showboat with paul robbinson for the best version of this song

[barrongirlsllc]

Be like the river and the sand and the stone, not the least concerned with the coming storm.

[Xenu]

This is *not* Paul Robeson. Robeson did popularize the song, though.

[TheVincinator]

Really beautiful song!

[jimmyratz]

Simply awesome!!! Bravo!!!

[jpablohp]

this is the musical

[afpamp]

I think it was the film 'Till the Clouds Roll By. The movie had a play within a play and they put on this song among many others.

[pasfresh123]

what movie??? not the 1950 version, that was William Warfield. Not the 1935 version, that was Paul Robeson.
