"Ol" Man River" from "Showboat" by Ken Anderson Bass/Baritone Singer

Thank you for posting this. I think he may be as good as Robeson.

His voice is eminently suited to this role.

Now THIS is a voice. This is the way the song was supposed to be sung.

1967 hate einen Guten Freund Jackson Otis Master Sergant US Army aus Alabama

hat seine Rente bei uns in der Fabrik aufgebessert.sein Vater war noch Baumwollflücker bei dem Lied denk ich immer noch an Ihn wäre heute 105 Jahre alt.

Nice voice, and he sings it well, but...

I'm sorry--"Hey Jude" just isn't quite "Hey Jude" unless it's sung by The Beatles, "Viva Las vegas" isn't quite as catchy without the song coming from Elvis' vocal chords, and "Ol' Man River" isn't quite as powerful if it isn't Paul Robeson himself singing the song...

Some pople just are so powerful they OWN a role or a song, and this is such a case.

Great rendition here...but it just can't match Robeson, somehow he and his version IS the River.

@obiwanobiwan13 The song was first performed in the original stage production of Show Boat on December 27, 1927 by Jules Bledsoe.

@obiwanobiwan13 sorry bro wilson pickett has the definitive version of Hey Jude. And Screaming JAy has the best version of old man river. As far as " viva las vegas " i'm not familiar with that song

Eine fantastische Stimme, die nur von einem Mann dieser Abstammung hervorgebracht werden kann. Bewundernswert.

Ken is a good man; and has a heck of a voice. He is 80 years young.

[pennyanchorus]

We are so lucky to have Ken sing with the Penn Yan Community Chorus. He puts his heart and soul into his singing. And he has a wonderful deep powerful voice.

He is a good man too.
