The incomparable Shirley Verrett. A vocal range-and a woman-that would not submit to the stringent confines of a vocal fach, but gave us the full spectrum of color and dynamics, from deep plush contralto to shimmering silver soprano.
@bellinicallas Por lo que sepa, es un "spiritual", una cancion cantada por los esclavos negros en America. En consecuencia, se desconocen los nombres de los compositores de los spirituals.
She's playing the guitar too? I think she says "after a while" @ 30 seconds then rocks it out with the horn section and chorus! The absolute best version thank you.
