12-29-10 - Thank you for this. Odetta born in Dec. and passed in Dec. 2008. So very wonderful to see, hear and feel her. This is my favorite of all uploads to You Tube.

[toetie75]

OH MY GOD!!! This woman is amazing!!! Tears to my eyes.

[LordGuinness]

8 months after this Odetta went to heaven...but she still takes us there today with her song..rest in peace mighty Odetta

[superdiva1189]

@LordGuinness HOW DO U KNOW SHE WENT TO HEAVEN??? I KNEW ODETTA AND LOVED AND RESPECTED HER, BUT EVEN I know after death one must wait until judgement day.

[LordGuinness]

@superdiva1189Forigve me pIease.I am not religious so heaven for me is just a notion of rest and serenity.I was brought up in a Catholic world so in my insignificant and humble mind that is where she went.I do not believe that my ideas of the "afterlife" are correct,rather merely an attempt to justifiy my own random yet consequential existence.In my life Odetta was a big influence in making me realise humans can learn and change to be more socialist without giving up individuality.RIP Odetta

@superdiva1189

Exceptions are made for some people. If you were the Divine wouldn't you want her to sing around you?

Wow! A friend posted this and I loved it. So for all of those that need a bit of soulful music to soothe your mind and weary soul, have a listen you won't be disapointed.

[ThePaczki]

I would have given both of my testicles to be there for this performance . . .

[12burky]

No musician has ever brought me to tears until this very moment.

[Hans021220]

[gglimmer]

Thank you sweet Lady Odetta...Satyagraha, she was singing a concept conceived by Mahatma Gandhi before she died...Dig IT!

[Medora27]

Wspaniały głos i wyczucie muzyki... wielki talent!! Na piosence Odetty The House of the Rising Sun płakałam... nie słyszałam w życiu lepszej i bardziej oddanej duchem wersji. Chwała Ci Odetto!! Po raz kolejny Świat stracił wspaniałego artystę... będzie nam Ciebie brakowało. Muzyka trwać będzie wiecznie!

She looks so much like Sojouner Truth. Same spirit.

[deviantbadger]

I got to see her several times in concert and meet her the last time she was in Davis, CA. Her voice and spirit got me through some tough times. God bless you Odetta. Godspeed!

[gimmieboy]

I am so sad that I did not get a chance o hear her in person. What a talent!

[Enoch2]

Praise JESUS CHRIST the Saviour, the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life!

[lllefty]

Listening to her this morning brought tears and memories. I saw her perform some 55 years ago at San Francisco's hungry i, the club that started so many singers and comedians.

[eggcetrafarms]

This truly brought a tear to my eye. Rest peacefully, dear Odetta.
